Warning
 
The Faeroes are continuing 'traditional' whaling; when large groups of Pilot whales pass the islands during July-August on their northward migration, 1-2000 of them are locally killed and slaughtered on their beaches each year in a cruelsome way. At these times you may see red seas around the islands.
