Dolphine hunt in the Faroe Islands, a controversial tradition

Images of more than 1,400 Atlantic white-sided dolphins being slaughtered during the last grind on the Faroe Islands, after the Danish autonomous territory announces it has begun discussions about the future of its controversial dolphin hunt, with a decision expected in the coming weeks.

In the Faroese tradition known as "grindadrap", or "grind" for short, hunters surround dolphins or pilot whales with a wide semi-circle of fishing boats and drive them into a shallow bay where they are beached.
