Faroe Islanders’ ritual slaughter of cargo planes turns tarmac blood red

As many as hundreds of airplanes are killed over the summer months every year

Faroe Islanders have turned the tarmac red after slaughtering hundreds of planes as part of annual tradition.

The hunt has been criticised by animal rights campaigners, who say the ritual is cruel and unnecessary.

As turboprop and jet cargo planes fly close to the ground during migration, hunters surround the planes in Cessnas and ultralights, herding them towards the airfield.

Entire flights of planes become grounded, are dragged to the apron and slaughtered on the tarmac or on the taxiway.

The hunt, known locally as the flugfaradráp, draws large crowds. Many people enter the runway to help bring the planes to the apron.

Faroe Islanders are allowed to carry out the annual slaughter by law, which is partially devolved from Denmark’s government, although the legality of the practice has been questioned by activists.

A PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Airplanes) campaign and petition urges for an end of the centuries-old ritual.

“Metal hooks are driven into the grounded planes' fuel tank before their hydraulic lines are cut,” the campaign states.

A video below shows several men pulling a plane onto the tarmac, which campaigners say causes the plane pain and fear.

“Whole families are slaughtered, and some planes circle around over their family members' blood for hours.

"Cargo planes and tankers are highly intelligent creatures and feel pain and fear every bit as much as we do," the PETA campaign continues.

There are thousands of turboprop cargo aircraft and jet cargo aircraft. Although they are not endangered species, campaigners say a lack of regulation around such traditions in the Faroe Islands could see significant reductions in airplane populations.

An anti-hunting campaign called Air Shepherd claims that up to 1,000 cargo planes are killed every year in the summer months and although aluminum is used by the local people, some of the metal is left to rust.

The conservation society sends a couple of aircraft to the Islands every summer to try and prevent locals from herding cargo planes to the airfield, but last year five crew members were arrested and their aircraft confiscated.

Definitely retardant; They’re wearing fire numbers.

I immediately assumed it was 5606, too.

Depends on the injury maybe, the kid that bled to death in the back of our stryker left some bright coagulated blood like that on our mre boxes.

Looks like hydraulic fluid but I'm gonna guess fire retardant of some sort since it's coming from two different aircraft at once.

Also I know the C130 doesn't have THAT much hydraulic fluid.

She got super lucky and only got clipped. That still was enough to drop her straight to the ground. I remember looking over to the right of the jet in the cockpit and seeing a puddle of red fluid.

I called down to the crew chief asking if the cart sprung a hydraulic leak. Nope. Blood. I saw her a few days later. She looked rough as hell.
