Tuna stocks world-wide are about to crash and become extinct due to over-fishing...

It's a good question Lago and I completely support that we should eat less.

Even though I love tuna, the fresh stuff, I do feel bad eating it, I have not eaten it for a year.

So I do give a damn yes, I don't eat farmed fish either.

Your penultimate poll option? There is plenty of information around for those that do give a damn.

Something I have been aware for a few years now.

And I can be really stupid at times.

At my box the link led to a video about Mandela and segregation…

As to fish… looks like that Homo Sapiens treat his planet as cancer sells treat the host body: they destroy it… well, they’ll die when the host body dies, but they are brainless and can’t know that. Or just don’t care – aprés moi le deluge, or some such

You have to copy/paste the whole link....you can't just click on the blue automated part....sorry for that..



"Big-Fish Stocks Fall 90 Percent Since 1950, Study Says
National Geographic News
May 15, 2003
Only 10 percent of all large fish—both open ocean species including tuna, swordfish, marlin and the large groundfish such as cod, halibut, skates and flounder—are left in the sea, according to research published in today's issue of the scientific journal Nature."



here are some others....there is a ton of it out there...

OMG ..I eat a lot of tuna (fish in general) .. more sustainable fishing policies have to be found .. I can't live without eating fish!! .. I'll be reduced to pasta everyday and weigh 1600kg before the end of the month .. tho of course I recognise that I might have to learn to not eat fish before it's too late to save the stocks .. oh dear .. a completely depressing scenerio .. moping

Yeah. me too...I eat a ton of tuna....and I really feel that I should react on this issue, but outside of simply not eating fish, I'm not sure there's anything anyone I can do. I think it's a question of politics and money (as it usually is...).Those financiers and owners behind those fishing fleets have so much money invested, that they all want to get their equity out before it's all gone...in other words, it's like a crashing stock market, and everybody's rushing for the door at the same time....take what you can get, and get the hell out of the door before the building comes crashing down!!....doh

I don’t eat fish very often – it’s more expensive than meat. Yeah, as simple as that…

One of my acquaintances don’t eat big shrimps of ethical reasons. Does it make difference? I don’t know.

I don’t eat caviar. Of ethical reasons (please, feel free to laugh). Does it make difference? I’m sure it does not.

From my point of view, there’s some air of pathos about an individual trying to change something on a global level. But on the other side – your believes is what you are, and it’s all you have at the end of the day. And I’ve never been afraid of being myself, not even at the start of the day.

Well, I thought it was about time to expand my interests beyond breasts and painting, so I chose fish...logical, innit?....laugh

But on a serious note, I think the internet is the best thing we have to change global mind sets...and I think YouTube and Facebook and all the other sites are great mechanisms for human change...power to the people..banana

What’s happening?

Painting isn’t enough anymore? Out of inspiration? Read some Rembrandt!

Even breasts are not enough anymore? Out of vitamins? Cod-liver oil is recommended!

No, I never said 'not enough?...I said 'expanded' ....as in repetoire....

Apropos, my latest painting in the surrealist style is called "Maltese Landscape with Two large Breasts and a Tuna Fish"

Surrealism is beyond my comprehension – it’s too surreal, you see.

I prefer more practical genre: graphs, diagrams, contingency tables, evacuation schemes…

By the way, are the two large breasts on a tuna fish? Then it’s a mermaid!

10 years ago cod fish was dying out in the northsea.Prices skyrocketed in Holland and a catch quota was installed.

Now 10 years later cod fish swim in great numbers again.

Some policies do worklaugh Although the fish have to do the work for itlaugh
