| Barbarism Alert - Solomon Islands |
The reason? The villagers are pissed off that they didn't get money they were promised.
The villagers are saying they were underpaid by the Earth Island Institute - an American-based group that works to conserve ecosystems around the world.
People from the village of Fanalei, on the island of Malaita, claim that the institute had made a deal to pay up to $400,000 Australian dollars to stop the killing of dolphins. However only about $120,000. Australian dollars had been received.

| Solomon Islanders - pissed off and holding dead dolphins |
The killing of dolphins is seen as a traditional practice on the island and provides meat and income for villagers. Dolphin teeth are also traditionally used to pay a bride's price.

| Dolphin Slaughter - Denmark |
The villagers had acted in retaliation for underpayment. It has been reported that the villagers felt disappointed and dissatisfied over the attitude of Earth Island.
The Earth Island Institute has called the dolphin slaughter an evil act and will not provide any more funds to the villagers. They stated: "This is a tragedy. It's bad for dolphins. It's bad for the community. It's bad for the Solomon Islands as a nation to have this blot on the record."
Whatever the circumstances, a shitload of dolphins have been slaughtered for no reason.
Dolphins are intelligent mammals. When they are trapped and killed they scream out, sounding very much like a human child, as they are sliced and hacked apart while still alive and conscious.
Jesus, Mary and all saints pray for us. Is everything done for money in this world?
God help us all. God save us from greed. Amen.
