Despite being widely banned, groups of individuals in Denmark’s Faroe Islands have gathered together to hunt whales for over 1000 years 😢

Aside from the incredibly upsetting and distressing footage of shores dyed red from blood, this hard-hitting documentary highlights the severe lack of regulation around whale hunting. In recent years, the use of a lance which instantly paralyses the animal has been encouraged to ensure a quick, painless death, but the documentary uncovers the reality that whales and dolphins can struggle for up to five hours after a lance is applied due to frequent human error.

Despite the documentary only being released today, the response has been so powerful that the Faroe Island’s government wrote to the BBC admitting the lance did not work as effectively on bottlenose dolphins as pilot whales.Stacey Dooley Investigates: The Whale Hunters is available to stream on iPlayer.
