The Faroe Islands have long been criticized for allowing the practice of slaughtering whales for their meat and blubber.
Passengers on board a cruise off the coast of the Faroe Islands were subjected to a"horrifying sight" of a local whale hunt that resulted in the slaughtering of 78 pilot whales.
ORCA said that passengers could see a flotilla of over 40 boats herding the pilot whales as about 150 people hauled the whales on shore to slaughter them. ORCA estimated that nine tiny calves were among those slaughtered. “We are dedicated to supporting ORCA in their endeavours to collect data and to monitor whales and dolphins and we are extremely disappointed that this has happened after weeks of trying to open constructive dialogue with the Faroese government and Visit Faroes on these issues," said Ambassador Cruise Line CEO Christian Verhounig.
