Ugh... cannot watch that. But it's PETA videos like that that turned me into a near-vegetarian 10-years ago. No shrimp EVER due to bycatch issue (and now even filthy shrimp-farm issues). By the time we decide to start doing something about destroying our oceans it will be too damn late. Old abandoned traps and netting will keep killing forever using today's deaths as tomorrow's bait. Humans just suck as a species, but give it a while... we'll be gone and the Earth can move forward re-evolving for what's left w/out us messing with it all.

Hello Ravenswolfcasey, I'm new to this site, still falling down rabbit holes, just thought I'd like to tell you I admire your stance on (not) fishing.

Apart from the torture fish are put through by capture, not to mention those inadvertantly hurt, the oceans and streams are no longer the oristine places they were. Meaning whoever eats fish, eats the contaminents of the wsterwsys as well. No, I don't eat fish.

I don't eat seafood very often. But I applaud all that are trying to clean up our oceans.

I haven't touched the stuff since 1980. When I lie dying and think of all the crappy things I've done in my life, that won't be one of them.

I don't do seafood, but can eat if forced. Never my choice of restaurant. Don't like the smells of a seafood restaurant to be honest.

I catch my own fish. I don’t keep anything undersize or out of slot.

As the dominant predators and species on the planet we have gone past the point of no return due to our population size. Changing what you eat won’t change the facts. Speculative theories indicates that seafood may have spauned our evolution and brain development for tool making. I’m ok with eating seafood.

Of these acts of inhumanity, the most egregious has to be Japan's annual dolphin slaughter.

We treat a finite planet with infinity in everything we do. all humans are guilty of habitat loss.

Is why I'm a vegan.

Not all seafood production has to have devasting effects on our environment. Aquaculture has come a long way and helps to provide food security with a less detrimental environmental impact. That being said not all aquaculture practices are sustainable/environmentally friendly.

I love seafood, always have, loved it so much I want to work on a prawn trawler. Silly me (17) assumed that all the sea life we tossed over the side would just swim away. I found out later it is so badly injured it will just die, plus the fish and sharks following just inhale them. I catch my own now, not often.

You should read What A Fish Knows by Jonathan Balcombe. It's a really great read... It had a bunch of studies and anecdotes on fish anatomy and behavior and their social habits. It's interesting

I never eat seafood. I don't like it, but, even if I did, I would not eat it. My son in law is a marine biologist and does a lot of research on this.

I refuse to consume seafood...due to the atrocities of the fishing industry...
As well as all the contaminates from human waste and garbage
