Cruise Operator Apologizes for Passengers Witnessing Brutal Dolphin Hunt
British cruise ship operator, Ambassador Cruise Line, has apologized after its passengers witnessed a mass hunt of dolphins in the Faroe Islands. The hunt, known as Grindadráp, is a centuries-old tradition involving the killing of marine mammals for sustenance. Animal activists and conservationists have long criticized the practice as unsustainable and cruel, calling for a boycott of the Faroe Islands. The cruise company's apology comes amid growing pressure for cruise companies to remove the Faroe Islands from their itineraries to take a stand against the controversial whaling tradition.
