Far closer to home a lot of my dive club mates fetch back Lobsters from the sea for exactly the same reason. Please don't write to them too. nigelH >> Write to them and tell them what you think please. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > nigelH Lobsters aren't on the endangered list.................yet ;-p >>> Write to them and tell them what you think please. >>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Lobsters aren't on the endangered list.................yet ;-p But the turtles are commercially farmed, not wild caught. I certainly wouldn't eat one myself, but I would feel a little hypocritical condemning the Chinese for it. Ben  SignatureBen Panter, Edinburgh, UK.

What about every restaurant in Britain that cooks lobsters & crabs alive - there ain't much difference, unless it's the cute factor of turtles. Is this any worse than pointing out the grouper in the tank that they Chinese cook them pulls out & cooks, no stunning just slices out the innards .... fish is still struggling when they start cooking it. Or the top Japanese restaurants who pin down live fish and slice off thin slices of flesh so the punters can have the freshest Sushi ? .... |
