TORSHAVN, FAROE ISLANDS -- More than 700 dolphins were killed in the Faroe Islands yesterday (Wednesday), more than two-thirds of the approximately 1,000 marine mammals killed across the entirety of last year.
Two Sea Shepherd crew members were arrested in the course of the events for documenting the hunt.
Three dolphin hunts, known locally as the "grind," took place along the islands which lie just 200 miles north of Scotland.
The graphic scenes saw hundreds of dolphins driven towards the shoreline before being killed using lances and long knives.
