Comments on: Victory for Japan: no marine species protected http://endoftheline.com/blog/archives/1248 Imagine a world without fish Wed, 16 May 2012 15:36:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: George Ikners http://endoftheline.com/blog/archives/1248/comment-page-1#comment-27111 George Ikners Sun, 16 May 2010 06:28:17 +0000 http://endoftheline.com/blog/?p=1248#comment-27111 Congratulations on your documentary. There needs to be an active discussion and consideration of what is happening to the fish stocks of the world and exactly who the politicians are that allow it all to happen. unfortunately in profit and privilege driven systems any resource automatically becomes a source of further avenues for the elite to further their own interests. When dealing with a food source these people and those who take part in that process are the real thugs and international criminals. This latest victory to Japan is even more frightening when combined with the freezing of caught stock effectively creating a future market capable of returning huge amounts of money to those who own the planet when existing stocks are gone. Good business sense but totally lacking any moral approach and extremely short sighted, but that's capitalism where your resources become our dollars as the elite would say.

CITES is now as flawed as the International Whaling Commission. Is it possible to get the voting data published so that people can see which countries have been paid-off this time? I'd be particularly interested to see which way Ecuador voted on hammerheads. What an outrage. CITES is now as flawed as the International Whaling Commission.
