On average, nearly 1,500 pilot whales and other dolphins die every year in massacres called Grind. Orchestrated for centuries in an isolated archipelago autresfois the outside world, they are continuing today under the guise of tradition with the reinforcement of modern technology (motor boats, sonar and even helicopter). Today, the population of the Faroe Islands has one of the highest levels of European life and receives major European subsidies via Denmark. In addition, the pilot whale meat is unfit for human consumption after Faroese physicians themselves, this is because of high rates of mercuries and pollutants present in their flesh. From June to October, the peak season grind Sea Shepherd will provide daily patrols to ensure that no pilot whale and no other dolphin was killed in the archipelago. A large team on the ground consists of several hundred volunteers, International is also mobilizing for this mission.
