The waters around the Faroe Islands turned red after hundreds of whales and dolphins were killed during an annual hunt that has existed for centuries. The event, known locally as the “grind,” has once again drawn criticism from animal rights groups and conservation activists.
The traditional hunt involves driving pilot whales and dolphins into shallow waters before they are killed. While supporters describe it as part of Faroese culture and a source of food, critics say the practice causes severe suffering to intelligent marine animals, as per a report by The New York Post.
