A dolphin for a tooth


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Traditional dolphin hunts in the Solomon Islands are among the world's largest, researchers in the US have found, with over 1,600 dolphins killed in a 2013 hunt alone.

A study in Fanalei village, on the island of South Malaita, recorded an overall tally of 15,400 dolphins killed between 1976-2013 .

The dolphins are mainly killed for their teeth, a local currency often used to pay dowries for brides and for ceremonial jewellery.
