Ban illegal long line fishing
Target:

Sponsored by:
Millons of fish and sharks are dying every year to fund the $100 billion shark fin industry, and all animals caught may be left dying for hours or in some cases even days. Somehow, the authorities continue as though nothing wrong is happenning, the same for the fishermen. Sharks fins are brutally sawn off ,and then the animal is thrown back into the ocean. the fin is put in a soup or medicine in China. There are zero medical benefits, the fin is also tasteless. Meanwhilst other endangered animals such as turtles or sharks and other fish have already drowned struggling to breath after being caught on the long lines.

Revelation 11v18 The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead,and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name,both small and great—and for destroying those who destroy the earth."

long line fishing is unsustainable and destructive and a completely immoral practice, it would never be tolerated on land, soon there will be no more fish in the sea. it has to stop.

IF YOU DON’T STOP YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE DEATH OF OUR WORLD WE LIVE IN, and there’s enough people doing that already don’t you think? Please stop this disgusting action towards our beautiful sharks and other creatures of the deep. Long Lining (Longline) is also disgusting as it kills so many other beautiful creatures that need to be alive and in the Ocean for our world to survive. And we need them all or the air we breath will stop being breathable… You Obviously Are Not Aware Of This.. Asian Countries that encourage the slaughtering of these beautiful Sharks and other creatures from the ocean that get caught in the process, only for Shark Fins; are delusional thinking that anything (food or product) with shark in it will help them. And when the fins are served in a soup there is no taste to it, just the taste of the rest of the soup with spices. We will take action everyday and protest this degusting way of life where ever it is displayed. Please don’t be Barbaric Killers like they are… I beg you to do the right thing already. And if caring for the Animals and Creatures in the Ocean is not your thing, I know you must care about the Children of the next Generation, and if this continues you will simply make them all suffer for your Non-Action to stop this atrocity of irreversible damage to the marine ecosystem that we all depend on. PLUS FYI: Shark fins have been shown to contain potentially dangerous levels of mercury. Sharks consistently rank amongst the highest of all mercury-tainted seafood. Mercury is known to be toxic to humans and is especially dangerous for pregnant women, and young children. Mercury has also been associated with lowered male fertility rates. Is that what you want for everyone and yourself? |
