A cruise line has apologized to its passengers after one of their ships arrived in the middle of a whale hunt where dozens of the animals were being slaughtered.
Not saying I approve, but there’s carve outs when the whaling is part of a local tradition. Also, Pilot Whales are in the Least Concern category, so they’re not going extinct from this.
They shouldn’t have apologized at all. Should have just said something akin to: “This is Faroe at this time of year, you’re lucky we were able to arrive in time to witness this unique experience”… passengers can make up their mind if they still want that as a port.
