As you say, it is thought provoking. I know there are quotas etc put on fishing boats as to how many fish they can catch but that does little to preserve stocks. The huge nets used by some boats just scoop up any living thing in their way and often the fishermen end up throwing dead fish back into the sea because they are not allowed to keep or sell them.

It's a mad system that is doing no good - either for man or fish.

Last I heard they were gonna end this rediculous system

here is another mad thing - by law - pet food cannot have ingredients that are not fit for human consumption - so the likes of cat food and dog food use up more than 75% of fish caught

Not only that - but the humans food cost is subsidising the pet food (ever noticed how human food goes up in price much faster than pet food)

In europe - much of these insane rules are the creation of - well, guess who

It seems jo public cant do right for doing wrong - next thing is we'll be getting veggie quotas or something but politics are banned here (and we cant have mary getting stroppy can we )

I remember seeing a programme some years ago about dog food. They had a team of people whose job was to taste the various foods they made to make sure that it was palatable enough!

I suppose if you got a bit skint you could always go and buy a tin of Pedigree lamb and veg with gravy couldn't you.

I kid you not that dog food is used im emergency survival kits and is recommended for storage in home bunkers n the like cos of its long shelf life and high nutition

Think i'll go vegetarian

yeah being a veggie sounds a good option compared with pet food

weird isnt it that conspiracy and doom laden theorists have probably got sheds and bunkers filled with tinned meaty dog food, and my dog has boxes of vegan dog food in the cupboard (because of his various allergies)

Think in my next life - i'll come back as a cockroach

if there is a nume war im on to a winner whatever - they are nuke proof and can eat anything - and dont mind dingy flats either

'excuse me - is this stool taken' (stool as in - ummm - manure )

Oh God I hate cockroaches. They are the only insect that really gives me the creeps..
