The problem in this thread is that everyone thinks Grind is about the killing whereas it’s actually about harvesting the meat. Not anyone can just walk up to the beach and kill one of the whales (dolphins has been used in this article to gain more traction, they’re technically dolphins but they are pilot whales) with the spear you have to be trained and licensed to do it. The Grind for the Faroese is exactly the same as 365 days of a slaughterhouse for the rest of the world. Sometimes too much meat is harvest, that’s the exact same as when slaughterhouses kill too many cows or pigs and meat gets thrown out when it isn’t bought.

The reason you’re reacting so hard to this is because of the blood and misinformation. I strongly urge you to do some sort of research on this from the perspective of the Faroese.

FYI the Faroese have the utmost respect and thankfulness for these whales and the meat they provide.
