Blog Prompt - News Clip #1: Fishy Business

Hi,

I am a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and I am very glad to be able to post an entry to raise the awareness of the cruelty of whaling in Japan.

As all of you should know, the blue-fin tuna population has made a drastic drop. You can't blame the tunas, they give birth to their young when they are supposed to. That's where the problem lies. We do not care about the period in which they give birth. When we feel like eating tunas, we simply eat them. At the way we are currently eating tunas, the tuna population will become extinct sooner or later.

Instead, we should have a long term strategy: we kill the tunas after they have reproduced, thus allowing the tuna population to continue. Likewise, we will wait for the next generation of tunas to reproduce before killing them. Hopefully, this will help the tuna population.

To conclude my message, I hope that this will be a win-win situation for all of you and the tunas. Wait for the tunas to reproduce, then will you have more tunas to eat in the future.

Thank you!
