Actually it's sad for all the animals of any kind to be killed by man and be eaten like with the shark fin soup, that it disgusting that they just catch a shark cut their fin off and put them back into the ocean and go away like nothing happened to it. Now what I say here is no offense to hunters or indians especially the indians because when they were around there weren't factories to make food for them. was And if they were vegitarians, well, they ate leaves but if they didn't like the taste they starved or to end their misery they killed them i mean how did they know they wouldn't get better before their time was up, but the saddest thing to see to be put to death are animals like deer. My grandma and I don't eat deer meat and I don't eat fish. I don't like the stores because they buy it from factories and the factories get it from fishermen and the fishermen get from the oceans or lakes and when the fish reach the stores they don't bother to open the fish package up and take the eyes out, they just keep them in and that is disgusting.

I am trying to figure out just where one of these creatures would get caught in a net as gill nets are banned in Texas and Fla and used very limited in La. Miss. and Al,mostly inshore and in the winter time.I think you are stirring the pot about something that is almost impossible to happen but we are used to that,spreading unfounded rumours and hearsay to the point that they are so wide spread that everybody thinks they must be true.
