/* Faroe Islands 2021 White-sided dolphin drive slaughter */ new section
According to Washington Post reporter Jennifer Hassan Faroe Islands Prime Minister Bardhur A Steig Nielsen issued a statement on September 16, 2021, following worldwide outcry over the drive, ensnaring and slaughter of close to 1,500 White-sided dolphins saying, “Although these hunts are considered sustainable, we will be looking closely at the dolphin hunts, and what part they should play in Faroese society.”

Ms. Hassan goes on to report this year's dolphin drive involved a pod of dolphins "several times larger" than usual. "Hunters round up the dolphins for hours, using jet-skis and boats, before eventually slaying the creatures for their meat and blubber. The practice is 'legal but it’s not popular,' Sjurdur Skaale, a Danish lawmaker for the Faroe Islands, told the BBC last week.

'For such a hunt to take place in 2021 in a very wealthy island community just 230 miles from the [United Kingdom] with no need or use for such a vast quantity of contaminated meat is outrageous,' said Robert Read, Sea Shepherd’s chief operating officer.'"Lesliesurfs (talk) 23:16, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
