Every year in the summer months it is Whaling season on the Faroe Islands, islands between the European countries of Great Britain and Norway. It is a cultural festival where the whole town comes to participate. One of those sessions is called a „Grind" - short for „Grindarap". It happened again last weekend and more than 250 pilot whales where slaughtered in a barbaric way.
