In reply to the discussion: Watch: Sea Shepherd films attack on ship by fishermen caught using banned nets [View all]Judi Lynn
(160,527 posts)14. Had no idea about the cute faces in the photos. They always show up in google searches for vaquita.
It's nothing but hell learning nothing can be done but to allow these actual monsters to go right ahead and terminate an entire species.
There really will never be a justification for it, not ever.
If the fishermen can't be persuaded to become decent and back away from this evil behavior, they should be arrested and imprisoned, as many as they can locate, and the area simply locked down for fishing altogether.
By the way, do you have any idea what the little water beasties are with such cute faces, if they aren't vaquitas? They will always appear on image searches when you're trying to summon pictures of the real vaquitas.
Thank you.

OP
If Mexico were serious about protection, they'd follow the African model of anti-poaching.

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.

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...
