Here is the full list of hunts that we are aware of in the #FaroeIslands this summer to date (the figures are estimates as official figures are not issued yet), noting that #PilotWhales are also a #dolphin species:

June 12, 2025, #Leynar – over 246 #whales (may be as high as 296)
July 5, 2025 – 49 pilot whales killed in #Bø
July 20, 2025 – 116 pilot whales killed in #Tjørnuvík
Aug. 25, 2025 – 50 Atlantic white-sided dolphins, #Skálafjørður

When the #Faroese report the number of animals killed in a #grindadráp, don’t be fooled by the official count.

We’re told 246 long-finned pilot #whales were slaughtered in #Leynar. But photos show animals marked as high as #296, including a calf labelled #277. So, which number is right? 246 or 296?

The truth is: neither.
Why? Because the Faroese only count the animals they intend to eat.

246 pilot #whales were killed in #Leynar, #FaroeIslands, including at least 30 pregnant females and their unborn calves.

Our crew on the ground has revealed the true scale and cruelty of this #Grindadráp. While
officials claimed a 15-minute hunt, our footage shows over 30 minutes of chaos, plus an hour of terror as the pod was driven into the killing beach.

Newborns, discarded. Mothers, gutted. Some whales struck by boat propellers.

This isn’t tradition. It’s a crisis.
