Not confused at all....When the discussion doesn't go your way you start complaining then you make this personal. Look what you are doing now. It would be really easy to be impulsive and jab back, but this merry-go-round gets boring and it detracts from the issue.
This isn't about me being right and you being wrong - it's about providing some balance to show that whales are also injured in commercial nets. It's not nice in either circumstance for the whale and it certainly doesn't mean because one sector is doing it that it's fine for others. However, before critics start pointing fingers at fish farms they should realize that this isn't at all isolated to just fish farms. The fact is that thousands of cetaceans are caught and injured in commercial nets and fishing gear each year - not just here but in other places in the world. Kind of a big fact to ignore.
Salmon Are Sacred folks just vilify fish farms for this and make it appear as a problem with aquaculture alone which it's not. Not one member on that site (a site of apparent conservationists) mentioned the obvious omission. Then Alexandra Morton uses this as a lead in to start talking about fish farms attracting whales which are attracted to the herring that are apparently feeding on feed pellets, but fails to mention the fact that the farm site in question had no nets or fish at the time. Despite this, I'm sure Marine Harvest will want to review what happened in order to prevent this from happening again because it's not in their best interests to have this happen. Instead of pointing fingers at Marine Harvest at what they plan to do to prevent this from happening again, Morton might want to inquire from her supporters in the commercial industry about what they are doing to reduce these incidents with cetaceans themselves.
