When the Faroese report the number of animals killed in a grindadráp, don’t be fooled by the official count.

We’re told 246 long-finned pilot whales were slaughtered in Leynar. But photos show animals marked as high as #296, including a calf labelled #277. So, which number is right? 246 or 296?

The truth is: neither.
Why? Because the Faroese only count the animals they intend to eat. That means unborn fetuses, very young calves, and any dolphins they deem "unfit" are excluded from the tally. These lives — many torn from their mothers — vanish without acknowledgement. Discarded with no thought or respect.

This isn’t just a numbers issue. It’s about transparency, ethics, and accountability. Every life taken should count. But in the Faroes, many don’t.
