PETA's Point - killing fish is cruel

tw's Point - mismanagement has depleted fish stocks and now there are serious problems which need to be addressed.

My Point - PETA are aiming this website at the wrong demographic and it's not going to go anywhere.

My Opinion - There are serious issues with regard to mismanagement of fisheries which need to be addressed and PETA do more to damage the likelihood of any recovery than they obviously realise. Telling people not to kill fish for food is not the answer. Proper management of a renewable resource is.

ETA: btw, I have some information on some of the by-catch reduction devices currently in use or on trial in Australia if you're seriously interested in learning what some people in the industry are working on to solve the by-catch issue which seems to be of serious concern to you.
