The Grind comprises of herding pilot whales towards the shoreline by creating a noise wall (boats, jet skis etc). These drives can last for hours until the animals are close enough to the shore for locals to manually hook them, drag them until into shallow water and kill them.
On Sunday 12th September the Grind slaughtered 1,428 Atlantic White-sided Dolphins.
