Reply to comment by Bywater in Whole Foods to pause sales of Maine lobster by bostondotcom

Lobstermen have done everything that’s been asked of them to protect the whales. Weak links in the line, break aways at the buoy, stopped using float rope, and use gear markers.

You’re saying they should be shut down because you think that right whales are being killed in their gear. You can’t prove it, but you just assume. They float when they die, literally how they got the name. So where are all the ones you claim are dying? Is that how you want other laws to be written?

Marine life bound with fishing lines to the point they can not struggle to the surface to breath obviously do not. Fuck me, that doesn't make even the first pass of critical thought, how can you repeat that line of garbage without realizing how dumb you sound?

You missed the part about weak links in the line. What gear will be hanging off a whale? You have no comprehension of the subject you’re spouting off about. Do more research and come back with facts.

Because my research is as good as the experts who do the shit for a living? Or that I should trust some lobsterman or crabber whose fixed lines is actually killing them?

I swear this is the biggest problem with society these days, you give any fuckwit the internet and they can for sure find some asshole shouting out some shit they want to be true so they take that, call it "research" and we are all the worse off for it.
