California bans shark fins
The state of California recently issued a ban on the sale of
shark fins. This one legislative act has
done more to protect sharks than those self-proclaimed protectors of the seas,
Sea Shepherd and their minions.
Recently CITES, Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species, voted to extend protection to many sharks. The news article in reference to this new
CITES protection read:
”Ultimately the effectiveness of the measures depends on
whether national governments enforce them because CITES has no enforcement
mechanism of its own.”
Huh? Where is Sea
Shepherd protector of the seas? Now that
Sea Shepherd finished harassing the fishermen of Taiji, Japan, and Japanese
mariners in the Southern Ocean, they can now help enforce this new protection
for sharks by CITES.
Remember when Sea Shepherd harasses the Japanese whalers in
the Southern Ocean they claim they are enforcing international and Australian
laws. Can we expect to see Sea Shepherd
in Mexican and Chinese waters enforcing CITES new protections for the sharks?
Not on your life!
Theses spoiled trust fund babies only go after passive people and fear
any opposition. Bullies act as bullies
when there is no resistance, thus we find these trust-fund bullies in Taiji,
Japan and the Southern Ocean acting bold and brave against a passive
people. How about some of this bravado
in Chinese and Mexican waters?
When the Japanese harvest dolphins and whales they use the
whole product for some type of food
production.
When the Mexican and Chinese fishermen capture sharks for their fins,
they cut the fins off and dump the live shark back in the ocean alive to sink
to the bottom unable to swim. There the
shark dies a slow, miserable death. This
will continue because the self-proclaim protectors of the seas are scared to
sail into Mexican and Chinese waters.
Cowards!
Part of Sea Shepherd’s mission statement reads:
“Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and
slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect
ecosystems and species.”
Perhaps they should include in the mission statement:
“This mission statement excludes sharks in Mexican and
Chinese fishing waters.”
