A diplomatic cable should be sent to Paris , keep your fishing boats out of our waters . Sending two armed patrol boats is slowly ramping it up for show . If shots are to be fired by the Royal Navy they should be fired at the French one . A blockade is an act of war . Last time the Royal Navy was used for show an aircraft carrier was lost .
Back to square one , every thing that was sorted has been destroyed , soon enough there will be war again between Israel -- Gaza , Israel -- Lebanon . That pos Paski could not say that Israel was a valued ally , but some diplomat said couple of days ago that Turkey was .
Felt widely , there were two quakes , both generated wave warnings . No damage reported so far , I would think there will be but minor . Damn sharp shake about 2/3rds through and I'm a long way from where they were .
Farming of elephants has been done both behind wire and free range . Gallagher Electric Fence Systems supplied the power units to South Africa early 1980's for the behind wire farming of them . One of the biggest missteps was stopping the ivory trade as it stopped the legal trade while the poaching trade continues .
Laws will not stop it , only thing that stops a comercial activity is the lack of return . That is where the farming would step in , to undermine the wild catch . Most of the wild catch would be small sharks rather than the 18 footers , so would farmed shark .Its bulldust that fins make the best soup rather than the tail or nose , that would be perception . If the pink can be put back into farmed salmon so can the taste be put back into a shark fin or any other shark body part of any age . NZ farms deer by the million , deer industry is very careful to maintain the "feral fiction" for marketing . Farmed deer pretty much killed the wild deer recovery industry , 20 years later wild deer are a problem , prior to the 90's wild deer had been hunted to very low numbers Same market dynamic would work for shark . While I'm sitting here the local fishing competition is on this weekend , few years ago it used to be called the Akitio Shark Hunt , not any more , not very PC .
The answer is to farm sharks , use the whole fish . Making it against the law drives demand , it would give shark fin soup an exclusiveness , nothing drives price better than that . Shark is already used in NZ for fish and chips where the quality and taste is masked .
