Rollzone: There are fish farms already, problem is people still breed at a faster pace than many species they rely on for food. I like tuna now and then, but don’t trust “cloned” or GMO food at all.

Hulk2008: Thanks for the info on the fish. I knew about the bones,ivory and other byproducts harvested. It should be illegal to kill an animal for some perceived more valuable part and let the food sources it also provided to rot. Similar to the American bison slaughter and the wolf kills we see today.

Teachings from Indian country,when we kill an animal,we honor it by using every part possible and never forget that the animal sacrificed itself so we could survive another day. We were taught and(should teach our children that all life is sacred and if you have to kill another living creature, it had better be for the right reason and not for some trophy to boost a persons ego or for wars to control over other peoples that we see today.

hello. oh, the little cans of tuna are so tasty. i eat
tuna every week, unless i don’t. i am the ‘cancer on
the face of’ the tuna. it tastes so good. i vote for
cloning and farming them. let’s use that floating
island of plastic refuse, and reform it into a giant
holding pen for growing tuna, and turn the poor
fishermen into farmers. you can teach a fisherman to
farm, and still eat fish.

I haven’t eaten Tuna for twenty-five years for just that reason
,  I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay, watched what
they were doing with the blue crab and oysters.
quit them around 1978.

  and i sure miss eating blue crab !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fishing is a world industry dominated by Japan and others who use the most wasteful practices possible.  Check out “finning” - that is harvesting only the fins from many species, leaving the rest of the still-living fish as spoiled cruel waste.  Whether humans kill just for feathers or horns or ivory or claws or urine (yes, there is a huge market for tiger urine), it goes beyond any legitimate search for food. 
  Let’s stop them before they turn to Soylent Green.

This comes as no surprise. Over population of humans are the cancer on the face of the earth. The price of tuna, not just Bluefin, has gone up drastically as the quality has gone done very notably in the last 2 years. Next time you open a can of tuna look at it, it looks like little bits scrapped up off the factory floor and is all mushy, not the firm pieces and chunks of tuna in cans from the past. No thanks Charlie, your tuna is not up to par anymore, and certainly not at the prices you are asking for it.

Several decades back when the commercial fishermen on the Great Lakes complained about the catches being smaller they blamed the Native Indians, claiming they over fished the lakes when in fact it was the non-native commercial fishermen who did that very thing. I know first hand that the Native peoples fished mainly to feed their families and very little if any ever was sold on the commercial market. More often any left over fish was given to those who were unable to fish and were in need of food like the elderly. Too many of my friends and family live in the area and live that life.The smaller fish are always tossed back in the lake, where the commercial fishermen cannot make that same claim.

This same thing is happening all over the world because of the explosive growth of humans, despite the wars and diseases that try to keep their numbers in control somewhat, it is a loosing battle for all concerned when people reproduce without thinking of the outcome of their excessive progeny, like the Duggars-19 kids and counting. Just because religious dogma and certain ruling groups brainwash the sheeple to -be fruitful and multiply- they should also do it with some common sense. But wait, common sense no longer exists in the world today as my daughter, now 36 informed me as they do not teach it in schools.So that explains why people are so easily led to do things that are not in their best interest.

Next step: Soylent Green.
