on the Faroe Islands in the Atlantic Ocean between Britain and Iceland, 1,428 Atlantic Belobocy Dolphins were killed over the past weekend. According to the portal of the International Environmental Organization of Sea Shepherd, it has become the most massive murder of dolphins in history.
The organization reported that the hunters were driven by animals closer to the shore on the boats and hydrocycles. In the area of the beach Scaloferdur, all the trafficking individuals were killed.
According to the ecocaurs, 1,428 individuals were killed, and this is the most massacre who ever happened in the Faroe Islands and probably all over the world. Prior to that, such was considered the case in 1940, when the hunters killed 1,200 black dolphins.
In the environmental organization, they stated that the hunters broke the law without receiving the necessary permission. Also, many participants in hunting did not have licenses at all.
The portal reminds that the slaughter of whales and dolphins in the Faroe Islands is a tradition common from the IX century.
