The prime minister of the Faroe Islands said the\u00a0government\u00a0will evaluate regulations around catching white-sided dolphins following public outcry after nearly 1,500 were killed in a recent hunt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take this matter very seriously,” Prime Minister B\u00e1r\u00f0ur \u00e1 Steig Nielsen\u00a0said\u00a0in a statement on Thursday. “Although these hunts are considered sustainable, we will be looking closely at the dolphin hunts, and what part they should play in Faroese society. The government has decided to start an evaluation of the regulations on the catching of Atlantic white-sided dolphins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, almost 1,500 white-side dolphins\u00a0were\u00a0killed\u00a0during a hunt in the Faroe Islands as part of a long tradition of dolphin hunting, known as the grindadr\u00e1p. The practice is subject to regulatory oversight, but the size of the recent haul sparked outrage and surprise among some.<\/p>\n
