International outrage over the butchering of nearly 1,500 dolphins in a single evening has prompted the Faroe Islands government to launch a review.\"\"
In a statement, Faroe Islands Prime Minister B\u00e1r\u00f0ur \u00e1 Steig Nielsen said:
\u2018We take this matter very seriously.'<\/p>

'We will be looking closely at the dolphin hunts, and what part they should play in Faroese society.'<\/p>

'The government has decided to start an evaluation of the regulations on the catching of Atlantic white-sided dolphins.\u2019<\/p>

John Hourston of Blue Planet Society said the review is a 'step in the right direction.'<\/p>

'I genuinely think we\u2019ll hear an announcement in the coming weeks saying they are going to stop killing white-sided dolphins.'<\/p>

'They\u2019re not culturally important to them, they\u2019re not a historic part of their diet, there\u2019s no need to kill them.'<\/p>
