More than 180 pilot whales were killed this week in the small town of Hvalvik in Faroe Islands during a traditional whale killing. Crowding the animals into a bay and killing them is an annual tradition for the Faroese who are descendents of Vikings, who eat pilot whales as a central part of their diet. The Faroese aren't involved in commercial whaling, so rather than selling the huge amounts of meat, they divide it evenly among their community.
