246 Pilot Whales Killed in Faroe Islands Grind

⚠️ Warning: Graphic Content ⚠️

Official reports claimed the hunt lasted 15 minutes. Our raw footage shows over 30 minutes of slaughter, plus an hour-long chase.

On June 12, in Leynar, Faroe Islands, 246 pilot whales were killed in a Grindadráp. Among them were at least 30 pregnant females, whose unborn calves suffocated inside them, and dozens of young whales too small to be considered edible, discarded like waste.

Grindadráp is a centuries-old Faroese hunting tradition still practiced in the Faroe Islands. Entire pods are driven from the open ocean into shallow bays, where they’re killed with knives and hooks. Officials call it humane and controlled. Our documentation tells another story.

We release this raw footage to expose the cruelty hidden behind official statements.
