Faroe Islands to 'limit' dolphin hunt at 500

Summary by Ground News

The Faroe Islands will limit the number of dolphins that can be killed in the territory's traditional hunt. The decision comes after public outcry from last year's hunt, where over 1,423 dolphins were killed. In the tradition known as "grindadrap," Faroese hunters surround dolphins or pilot whales. They drive the dolphins or whales into a shallow bay where they are beached.
