A Solomon Islands tourism operator has called on the government to take urgent steps to resolve a dispute that has led to the slaughter of dolphins. Earlier this month, Fanalei village on Malaita Island captured and killed 700 dolphins after falling out with US conservation group, the Earth Island Institute. The dispute was over money the villagers say they were owed, in return for foregoing their annual hunt. Another 300 animals have since been killed, with the villagers saying the slaughter will continue until they get their money. islandsbusiness/news/solomon-islands/2536/dolphin-slaughter-affecting-solomon-islands-touris/
