Our crew dived in to uncover the truth behind the Faroese claim that #pilotwhale meat is essential for their community. Pro-whaler locals argue that without the hunt, the Faroese would need to import more food, leading to increased pollution and unsustainability.
The reality? The grindadráp only results in more imported food being wasted, as supermarkets don’t adjust their stock based on the whale killings. Food is imported regardless of hunts.
Acknowledging this could spark a real debate about the need to hunt whales and dolphins. With supermarkets tossing out food daily, isn’t it time to reconsider whaling?
