Traditional Dolphin hunting practices in the Faroe Islands –
Conservation Impacts on White Sided Dolphins[7]
Hunting[8] White Sided Dolphins has been a traditional practice in the Faroe Islands since the ninth century (Whaling in the Faroe Islands, 2021). There are two main perspectives to consider in this topic, first of which is the point of view of the Faroe Islands supporters that believe whaling is a sustainable way of gathering food from nature and an important part of their cultural identity. However, animal rights activists have long disagreed, deeming the slaughter cruel and unnecessary (Nevett, 2021). There are numerous factors that play an integral role in the conservation impacts such as the laws regarding hunting practices as well as dietary values of dolphins that make them the main target. These also help explain the long standing tradition in the Faroe Islands and the reasons why Dolphin hunting is normal and beneficial for them. (Fielding, 2012)
