I bet many of the people here moaning and whinging eat fish themselves!


I bet almost nobody here eats bombfished fish. <0.1%


> While fishers predominantly use the method to catch fish for sale at local markets — identifiable by their ruptured internal organs and burst swim bladders

The article agrees, assuming "here" is global north tech workers.


No fishers, no food.


Incoherent, broken logic.


No bombs, no fishers.


Damn, watertight logic


What's the point of this post? if you're trying to shame people into vegetarianism it's not going to work, and I'm one myself.

There's basically one solution to bomb fishing: make it economically nonviable. You could ban it an punish the people doing it, which is often the immediate action taken and seems like the path being set up here...

but really any money spent on enforcement may be better spent on setting the bomb fishers up with the tools to make a living doing something else — ironically "teach a man to fish"


I'm not a veggie, but I do think bomb fishing is a horrific idea. Let alone commercially.
