Human-Dolphin Partnership Reserve

ahbe writes that the Myanmar government recently established a protected reserve for partnering between fisherman and wild dolphins. From the article: "The fascinating partnership involves fishermen summoning the dolphins to voluntarily herd schools of fish toward the boats and awaiting nets. With the aid of the river-dwelling dolphins, the fishermen can increase the size of their catches by threefold, and the dolphins appear to benefit by more easily preying on the cornered fish in both nets and on the muddy banks of the river."

1) AQFL is not just a blog. Reread what the site said for its purposes.
2) I am a Christian, not gay/homosexual. Also, a virgin.

Simply disgusting

I think the government should set some pretty restrictive quotas on commercial fishing in both oceans and inland water bodies, and do something to encourage fish farming (in ponds, not pre-existing rivers). Otherwise some species are going to go extinct. This form of commercial greed is really getting outrageous, and this story is just one more example of it. Eating lots of fish is very good for us humans, but the planet can't keep up with the number of people anymore. It's time to find alternatives to satisfy the demand. I think for us to switch to mostly catfish and the like (raised in controlled conditions) might be the best way.

Funny?

So, what's so funny about my last post/comment? I was being serious and NOT joking. If you don't believe me, then please kindly visit my Web sites. I am really disabled, Christian, etc.
