The price of fish…

A BBC article reveals that the price of fish includes the mass slaughter of endangered turtles.
Millions of marine turtles have been killed over the past two decades through entrapment in fishing gear, according to a global survey.
Described as the first global synthesis of existing data, the study found especially high rates of "bycatch" in the Mediterranean and eastern Pacific.
Six of the seven sea turtle types are on the Red List of Threatened Species.
If I were a person who ate fish, and who had a conscience, I’d be asking myself whether pleasing my tastebuds was worth this level of destruction.
