YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWatch now on Motherboard
Whale hunting in the Faroe Islands is a tradition that has endured for as long as the islands have been inhabited.
The Faroe Islands are a tiny archipelago in the North Atlantic, and the Faroese have always relied on the sea to survive. This includes eating pilot whales, which the Faroese hunt yearly for food in a slaughter they call "the grind."
Recently, activists from the conservation organization Sea Shepherd have conducted an extensive campaign in the islands to attempt to stop the grind.
In the summer of 2014, we went to the Faroes to see for ourselves how the rural realities of Faroese life conflict with environmentalist idealism, and how the age-old hunting tradition endures in an increasingly modernizing world.
