Closed Pressure Denmark to Stop the Grindadrap whale slaughter in the Faroe Islands

Closed on

The Grindadrap is an annual slaughter of innocent pilot whales in the Faroe Islands. Around 900 whales die in the slaughter every summer when they are driven to shore and hacked and clubbed to death by the Faroese people.
The hunt is illegal and in breach of the Berne Convention and must be stopped
