Our Oceans are Under Attack

Does he invent this vegetarian stuff on his own. Why does he emphasize celebritys all the time . Are they smarter than normal people. I am Australian and I don't know any vegetarians . Yet he said it is mainstream. Mind you if I lived in Thailand I would give the meat a miss too. Unless it was mcdonalds.

Every year, millions of sharks are killed around the world for their meat and fins. Shark populations in some areas have been so decimated, entire species are at risk of being wiped out — which is not only bad news for sharks, but the ecosystems they live in.

Kathy was spurred into action after watching the documentary 'Sharkwater' — leaving her job so that she could dedicate her life to helping these misunderstood creatures. By encouraging fishermen to use their boats for eco-tourism — rather than hunting — Kathy's inspiring initiative 'The Dorsal Effect' — hopes to save lives by turning shark hunters into shark savers!

Importantly, her project shows that a transition towards a kinder way of 'doing business' can not only help animals — but can be better for people and the environment!

His name is Herbie, and he’s possibly the happiest vegetarian in the world. He was just four months old when he escaped from a transport truck that was destined for the slaughterhouse. The frightened calf’s dash for freedom saw him chased through traffic, and tranquilised. As fate would have it, the paperwork required for Herbie’s transport had not been completed — and Herbie was seized by police. The calf’s pursuit for freedom was successful: Herbie would live.
Herbie will never see the inside of a slaughterhouse. As the very first resident of For the Animals Sanctuary in New Jersey, USA, Herbie is not only living life — he's loving every minute of it. Prepare yourself for purest joy, bovine-style:
Sometimes the simplest things can make us the happiest. We know that like us, farmed animals experience fear and pain. But as Herbie enthusiastically demonstrates, animals have an incredible capacity to also feel joy in their lives.
Help spread the good vibes by pledging to try veg this International Vegetarian Week! Not only to spare animals from the stress and fear of factory farms and slaughterhouses – but because, like Herbie, they quite simply love life and deserve to experience joy, too!

Protect the oceans

Cutting out meat will help protect the oceans


•Dead fish in the seaIn 2011, total world fisheries produced 154 million tonnes of fish, 90 million tonnes from capture and 64 million tones from aquaculture.
•131 million tonnes (84%) was consumed by humans.
•By the year 2030 an additional 37 million tonnes of fish per year will be needed.
•19% of major commercial marine fish stocks monitored by the FAO are overexploited, 8% are depleted and 1% ranked as recovering from depletion.
•300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises are killed every year as ‘by-catch’ of the fishing industries.

 

Rave on Myark. And don't forget to mention global warming and climate change time to time.
We don't want anyone mistakenly thinking you are a skeptic.

In some inland areas of Australia the flies are that bad, unless you keep your mouth zipped shut, you will become a carnivore whether you like it or not !

 

I was working at Karratha on the Sino iron mine project and had to wear fly nets over my hard hat.

The planet may never recover from the environmental devastation wrought by commercial fishing. Once thought to hold an endless bounty, we are quickly learning that even our oceans are no match for human greed. Many fish species once considered infinitely numerous are in grave danger of being hunted to extinction. The ocean is not the “renewable resource” it was once thought to be and there are just too many people on earth for seafood to be a sustainable food source.

Billions of fish worldwide are killed for food every year. Unless current fishing rates are drastically reduced, scientists predict that every species of wild-caught seafood will collapse by the year 2050.[1] [2] Excessive fish depletion can widely be attributed to the dual culprits of advances in fishing technology and techniques on the one hand, coupled with minimal regulations and restrictions to allow fish to repopulate. Humans are a terrifying predator and there is no ocean deep enough to hide.

Large computerized ships trawl the deep seas with miles of netting that can obliterate 130 tons of fish in a single sweep. Bottom trawlers cause massive destruction, scraping the sea bottom and destroying miles and miles of coral, sponges, and non-target bottom dwelling fish which are simply discarded as collateral damage.

In fact, fishing is one of the world’s most wasteful and destructive industries. Every year, more than seven million tons of so-called “by-catch”, (perhaps more accurately described as “by-kill”) is inadvertently caught and wantonly destroyed; including over 300,000 sea animals such as non-target fish species, sea turtles, dolphins, whales, sharks, albatrosses and other sea birds.[3] [4] Every year 7.3 million tons of marine life is caught unintentionally by the fishing industry just to be callously thrown back dead, considered an acceptable loss in the industrial pursuit for profit. [5]

According to the UN, all 17 of the world’s major fishing estuaries are over-fished. Seven of the top ten marine fish species are fully exploited or over-exploited, and nearly 90 percent of all large predatory fish in the ocean are now gone, forcing nations to increasingly fish lower on the food webs to meet seafood demands.[6] The 2008 State of the World Fisheries and Aquaculture released by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) concludes that 80 percent of all marine fish stocks are currently fully exploited, over exploited or depleted, including stocks of the seven largest prey fisheries.

Because of human exploitation of the oceans, endangered species are starving without enough to eat, and helplessly fight for life caught in fishing nets that kill indiscriminately. We, as humans, have a choice in what we eat. I have lived for twenty two years without fish in my diet and I’m healthy and thriving. Marine mammals are not so fortunate; they need fish to live, and we are in effect stealing and annihilating their only means of sustenance.

Endangered species are also vulnerable to industry nets and other gear. Just as the dolphins still suffocate and die in the tuna industry nets, sea turtles are killed by the millions in the nets of the shrimping industry. In fact, for every pound of shrimp netted in the Gulf of Mexico, four pounds of “by-kill” is wasted and thrown back overboard dead.[7]

Not only are we depleting the oceans of fish at an alarming rate for human consumption, but half the world’s fish catch is fed to livestock! In fact, more fish are consumed by U.S. livestock than by the entire human population of all the countries of Western Europe combined[8]. Factory farmed pigs and chickens are eating more fish than sharks and seagulls. What an absolute waste.

Amazingly, there is new evidence that depleting our oceans is hastening global warming. A study in the prestigious journal Science found that fish droppings help the ocean absorb carbon dioxide. Alkaline chemicals such as calcium carbonate in fish excrement balance acidity in the oceans and help take CO2 out of the atmosphere.[9] With massive depletion of fish, and corresponding diminishing supply of fish poop, the oceans are unable to capture the CO2 as they have been for millennia. The global warming effect is raising sea temperatures and causing the acidification of the ocean threatening coral, plankton, and other marine life.

 

Myark didn't say that 90% of ALL fish are gone. Back to Remedial Reading Night School for you.
