350 Dolphins Slaughtered in Solomon Islands

Approximately 350 dolphins have been claimed to have been caught and slaughtered on Fanalei Island in the Solomon Islands last week.
 
“After some very tiring days of unsuccessful hunting, we finally made the catch we have all anticipated," said a local dolphin hunter according to Soloman Star and PacNews. “Now that we are successful, the meat and teeth of the dolphins can help sustain us a couple more weeks before we see fit to go out hunting again.”
 
For the past couple of weeks, the villagers on Fanalei had been helping out a news crew from Aljazeera English Network as they film a documentary on dolphin hunting.
 
The latest catch brings the total number of dolphins caught this year to more than 1,000.
