#Pilotwhale meat contains high levels of mercury, PCBs, and DDT derivatives, making it unsafe to eat. The Faroese Food and Veterinary Authority advises adults to limit their intake to one meal per month and recommends pregnant women, nursing mothers, and those planning pregnancy avoid it altogether. Is there a legitimate reason to continue the hunting practice if the meat should not be consumed? Join the #stopthegrind movement and take a stand against the Grindadráp.

🚨#Breaking: Kyodo Senpaku, a major Japanese whaling company, has caught a 19.6-meter (64-foot) fin whale off the coast of Iwate Prefecture, marking the first fin whale taken in Japanese commercial #whaling in 50 years. The catch comes after #Japan’s recent decision to add fin whales to this year’s whaling targets, with a quota of up to 59 whales. This news not only highlights the ongoing threats to whale populations but also represents a significant setback for their conservation. We must not let it go unnoticed—stand up, speak out, and join us in protecting these majestic creatures! #seashepherd #marineconservation

Plastic octopus pots are a severe threat to marine life. Not only do they lure and trap octopuses, but when abandoned, they also ensnare #whales, #sharks, and other marine creatures. ⚠️ Sadly, the demand for octopus is only increasing due to the high financial gain brought on by heavy consumption. 👉 Italy alone catches a staggering 3,000 tons of octopuses annually, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of these incredible creatures. Illegal fishing further exacerbates the issue, making it hard to fully understand the scale of their decline. But together with local authorities and our friends from Allianz, we are tackling this crisis head-on.
