Around 100 dolphins, including fetuses and calves, were killed in the Faroe Islands.
The mass murder is considered to be the largest dolphin hunt in more than 120 years.
According to the conservation organization Sea Shepherd, 98 adults, fetuses and young calves have died in the Faroe Islands.
Experts believe that the dolphins were washed ashore on the island of Skala Fiorras and killed with knives, spears and other sharp weapons.
Since this week’s murder, the water has turned red with blood.
Such hunting is a traditional part of Faroese history, but has been heavily criticized by wildlife organisations.
Sea Shepherd, the organization that filmed the latest genocide, said in a statement:
“Again, some animals show scarring from the boat propellers where or where the boat collides with them.”
Last year, he exclusively revealed how 1,428 Pacific white-sided dolphins were killed on the same island.
As part of a centuries-old tradition, the animals were brought to shore before being slaughtered.
Many people died and extra pieces were trucked to the incineration center.
The hunt continued, though some said Britain had cut trade ties with the Faroe Islands in retaliation, despite widespread fear of last year’s massacre.
The islanders are said to be divided by a practice known as the Glinda Drop Hunt.
Fishing remains a major industry for locals, and the crush-killed whales and dolphins are intended for community distribution rather than export.
Many urged campaign participants to respect their culture and vowed to continue hunting.
Many traditions have remained unaffected by modern society because the North Atlantic islands, northwest of Scotland, between Iceland and Norway, are remote.
However, the hunting of dolphins and pilot whales has been accused of being “barbaric” by animal rights groups.
Speaking with last year, Blue Planet Society volunteer John Hurston said the tradition is no longer necessary.
He states: “The Faroe Islands are one of the richest countries in the European Economic Area, but the excuse we have is that it’s for food.
“They have supermarkets everywhere.”
