Japanese, Icelandic, & Norwegian commercial fishing industry want IWC to end moratorium on whaling endangered?

Question

species: Do you agree with ending the moratorium?

Whaling and all the other specific commercial fishing industries that hunt down wild species on a nonsustainable basis for profit all want a free lunch since the fish and mammals in the seas are part of the planets biodiversity. Other examples of irresponsible fishing 1)wild shrimp

trawling that unnecessarily kills endangered sea turtles, 2)shark fin fishing which culls the top and pectoral fins of the sharks while they are alive and then dumps the living,butchered bodies of the shark back into the ocean to die by drowning. 3)tuna fishing with drift nets and tuna fishing by trawlers that kill the dolphins trapped in their closing nets. All these fisherman want a free lunch to plunder ocean wildlife to extinction as they have already done fishing certain cod species in the Grand banks off Newfoundland and in the Northeast Atlantic off the coast of Northern Spain.

Answer 1

I do not agree with ending the moratorium.  That's the answer to your specfic question although the other give you some good information.

Answer 2

The so called moratorium does not really protect the sea life of Earth, it doesn't even provide any inspection controls on the fishing fleets that pirate the seas. Yes the laws have to be set in place on special breeds of sea inhabitants. But a more closely inspection system must also be put in place. The Coast Guard should send one of their cutters along with the fishing fleet when they go out.

Like most people, these people won't let a little greed stop them. Humankind will not be satisfied until the whole world is a desert, and then everybody will be happy blaming each other and trying to live off yeast products and algae grown in tanks.

There should be stricter laws and stricter moratoriums, not relaxed ones. The bluefin tuna fishing off Cape Cod took the species right out, even though the fishers claimed they could keep hunting at an increased rate (talk about self-delusion).

The same for the codfishing and lobster. The minimum size of lobster keeps decreasing. Soon one-ouncers will be keepers.

The sad thing is that many ocean products end up as pet food or fertilizer (anchovies for example). Do we need so many pets? There are likely more pets than humans in the world.

Answer 5

yes it kills the dolphins
