:p :rotfl:

A lot of nature conservation and protection is based on people emphatizing with the protected species. Fish are scaly, slimy. They are not 'cute'. Does this make them less valuable?

Also, when talking with people who have sailed the oceans for decades they will tell you that today the oceans are dead. Huge parts of the Pacific ocean are covered with all kinds of trash. Overfishing, pollution, you name it. So I don't think protection of the seas is a joke, although PETA-folks might be easy to bash.

I blame the Europeans lack of enforcement of migratory palagic species. greedy bastagis I say light your torches and grab your pitchforks!

Overfishing and industrial farming are huge concerns in the modern world. You act like PETA is honestly caring about the consequences of killing animals. They aren't. PETA supports vegetarianism, which is a load of crock. Logically speaking, if we could cut down the world population and manage our food industry better, eating meat (even beef) could be fine. But all PETA cares about is not killing animals, which is absurd. Have you seen their pamphlets for children? Mindless scare tactics, and this sea kitten woobie nonsense shows that all they could care less about the repercussions.

If the entire world turns vegetarian.... there would be alot of sick people.

I dont know how many sea kittens ive cought. lol over 50 im sure.

Seriously, what the hell.

Stop eating that fish. It doesn't make any sense to talk about it here, since I'm guessing everyone can't afford a freaking $10,000 fish on their table. Whatever.

Idiots in Hong Kong and China and Japan, the US, and all other countries where it's apparently cool to throw away both money and vital species in a flurry of absolute stupidity, excess, and snobbery. Stuff like caviar, which creates more havoc on population than just overfishing, to sharks, which keep the entire eco-system from from overpopulating and starving itself. Does anyone know what a real coral reef looks like? There should be more predator than prey. With all those herbivores in the most famouse reefs, their waste will suffocate the coral and kill everything. Yet we unashamedly fish valuable predators like the tune and the shark for their tiny strips of meat and their dorsal fin.
