Harrowing pictures and footage showed how the helpless animals were stabbed and hacked at in the bay, turning the water blood red, before being hauled ashore The grind sees locals using boats to herd the animals into shallow waters, where hunters can stand waist-deep in the water and stab them to death with spears and barbs, turning the water a deep crimson in dystopian scenes.
