In reply to the discussion: Watch: Sea Shepherd films attack on ship by fishermen caught using banned nets [View all]rwsanders
(2,585 posts)13. Well the poachers aren't Billy Bob taking a deer out of season...
your critics are ignoring the larger facts:
The poaching is connected to and helping fund the drug cartels (that disappeared 47 kids on a field trip)
World-wide poachers have wantonly killed wildlife enforcement agents and activists (Diane Fossey comes to mind)
World-wide ~170 environmentalists and environmental activists are killed every year. I still refuse to buy from Shell because they were involved in the execution of Ben Saro Siwa.

I realize that. The African model encompasses more than just ending the lives of poachers.

You're welcome to your opinion. I stand with Africa and other poor regions struggling with issues.

Had no idea about the cute faces in the photos. They always show up in google searches for vaquita.

I'm sure that's it! They also have a blunt face, without a muzzle-like nose and mouth.

I did a search and haven't been able to find a single good picture of a vaquita.

It is depressing seeing so many images of dead vaquitas. Hideous. Thanks for checking. n/t

Just bought some gear from them. My wife wasn't too keen on the hooded sweatshirt with the logo.

If this was a U.S. issue, I'd have more ideas on where to send letters, make calls, but any ideas? ?

Obviously a Mexican fish isn't connected to any "traditional" Chinese medicine...
