Campaigners Condemn Mass Slaughter of Pilot Whales in Faroe Islands

Campaigners have expressed outrage over the recent hunt in the Faroe Islands, where 285 pilot whales, the largest species of oceanic dolphins, were killed in a single day in FuglafjÞrður. The hunt, documented by volunteers from the conservation organisation Sea Shepherd, lasted for several hours and was one of the largest hunts recorded this year.

The pod of pilot whales included pregnant females and young calves, leading to a toll much higher than the official count. Valentina Crast, campaign director at Sea Shepherd, described the slaughter as “cruel and driven by greed.”

Super Pod

Initially estimated to be around 60 to 70 animals, the pod turned out to be a super pod of approximately 400 whales, raising concerns about the accuracy of monitoring and reporting of hunts in the Faroe Islands.

Health Concerns and Commercial Motives

Despite warnings from Faroese health authorities about the health risks of consuming whale meat, the hunts persist. Local municipalities have refused further supplies of whale meat, yet the meat and blubber are still being distributed and even sold online and in restaurants, highlighting the commercial interests behind the hunts.

Campaigners are urging for an immediate end to the practice, denouncing it as cruel, unnecessary, and motivated by greed rather than tradition.
