Fish Fight
After watching Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's series of programs about his Fish Fight Campaign, I have decided to put this page up as much in anger as in support of what he and the other chef's are trying to do. Any true fisherman will support their campaign, a true fisherman respects the sea, it's inhabitants and it's wonder. A lot of big businesses, a lot of countries and governments are money led regardless of the damage done to our planet. If there is money to be made then kill it and sell it, regardless of consequences to future stocks of fish of all varieties, the sea as a living being or the future heritage left behind for our children.
Some of what has been going on in the seas around the world is nothing short of a total world scandal. Does it take only four chefs to bring it to the attention of the world (hopefully) when governments, authorities, associations etc have been condoning all the practices presented here ...and more... and never done a thing about it, whether through total ignorance of the facts or just plain old fashioned greed and the desire of money?
These video links to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall are only available for 30 days after they were first shown on television due to copyright laws so they will disappear shortly. Please take the advantage of watching them to see and learn just what goes on in the fishing industries around the world while they are available.
They are unfortunately only the tip of the iceberg, there are other species getting decimated by man's greed. These set of video's are not for pleasure viewing, they show what actually does occur so please be warned. As someone who loves nature, the sea and everything in it, I find it absolutely horrendous that this sort of thing is allowed to happen.
If anyone wonders why they aren't catching any cod this winter - then please - have a look at this!
Then if that has stirred you up a bit you might want to watch the full programme by hitting the link below.

Below are one or two links to video's about the atrocities done to other species. If you are squeamish or don't like the sight of blood and cruelty then please don't watch them. These show the depths to which some will go to make as much money and profit as possible.
