It’s just awful really and it is a tradition that is unnecessary really.' WorldDolphinDay
A Bangor woman who witnessed the aftermath of a “brutal” dolphin drive hunt that saw 100 bottlenose’s slaughtered is urging the Faroese to end the cruel tradition this World Dolphin Day.
While Aileen wasn’t there for the slaughter of almost 1,500 dolphins last year, she did bear witness to the aftermath of a bottlenose dolphin hunt at the end of this July. The 53-year-old says those slaughtering the mammals drive the pod towards the beach, then use a hook to pull them ashore. “The whole pod was wiped out. It’s not sustainable really... we don’t have a way of recording how many cetaceans there are in the sea.
“Help us make it clear to the Faroese – as well as governments and international organizations like the IWC – that the world is watching, and that we demand legal protections for small cetaceans around the world.”
