USDA came out last week saying children should not eat more than 2 servings of albacore tuna per MONTH due to mercury content. If you look at Google Maps images of the world and zoom in on the shore lines of oil producing areas off the coast of Africa and the Middle East, you can clearly see the sheen of oil discoloring the water and contaminating the fishing areas there. As the Dolphins said…“Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish.” I only add…“while they lasted.”C.
Yes, oil leaks to the surface naturally as well. However, it is off shore near oil fields and in waters where oil wells are prevalent you see the oil sheens of which I speak. Bad things occur in nature, but man can add to those bad things with irresponsible behaviors.Respectfully, C.
Have you ever read the book “Spartacus” by Howard Fast? In it, Batiatus was given responsibility for disposal of the bodies of the crucified slave-army. He sold them in bulk to Rome’s sausage-makers (hey, his gladiatorial school had gone under, and he deserved some recompense). It was of course unthinkable that these sausages be served to Roman citizens, but it was considered good enough for the provinces…
Why anyone would participate in the cruel environmental destruction involved with fish and other animals when they don’t need to in order to survive is beyond comprehension.
