Illegal fishing hits tuna stocks

[Snake_Eyes]

This was the first page off a post i did ages back:



Angel Pousada was found guilty of illegally taking £42,000 worth of hake back to Spain, unrecorded in his logbook. Falmouth magistrates fined him £300. (S Telegraph 12/4/98)

look wat happens in the U.S

THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE OF THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA HAS SENTENCED A MAN TO 3 YEARS PROBATION AND A $200,000.00 FINE FOR ILLEGALLY IMPORTING NORTHERN SNAKEHEADS FROM SOUTH KOREA. DANIEL RHEE PLEADED GUILTY TO SEVEN FELONY COUNTS FOR SMUGGLING AND ILLEGALLY TRANSPORTING THE FISH. AS PART OF THE SENTENCE, RHEE WILL ALSO HAVE TO PAY FOR ADVERTISEMENTS THAT WILL RUN IN NEWSPAPERS TO WARN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE DANGERS POSED BY SNAKEHEADS.

Be warned do not flush snakehead down toilet could cost you $$$$$$$$$$ thats one big fine

Stotty,

Sure Asia is a bigger problem. It's just that they are Third World and don't know any better.
The Pope resides in a G7 and does it right to our faces.

You are quite right things need to change my father was a Catholic I say was he is still with us just things have changed his ideas on life. No more said.


The problem being (I can’t believe we are have an ethics debate on a fish forum) the church, no all religions in general are out dated. Contraception was disallowed by all Christian faiths until the 1930s. Ironically Islam does not make any explicit statements about the morality of contraception, but contains statements encouraging procreation. But it goes on even the so-called "religious" wars have often been fought for motives of greed or power under the guise of religious conviction. War means death, death culls the population they then encourage people to reproduce thus giving more people of that race to fight wars and take over. Hens no contraception, bring back the Spanish Inquisition.

this is a serious issue, but you guys are over reacting making it seem like the tuna are already gone, if measures are put in place to properly manage the fishing of them we will always get our tuna sandwiches

Except that measures for these types of things are never put in place until the last possible second.
Thats why nothing is done to help a species of animal until its already endangered. Then you have to make sure everyone knows about the law and still have to enforce it. By then, who knows.

I dont think we have to worry too much about Tuna going extinct, but what you said just made me think of other animal species.
