[QUOTE="Pariah, post: 1254279, member: 23126"] I watched the show with interest last night. Yes Gordon Ramesey is a bit of a gobshite...but the guy can cook. Ive tried some of his recipes and they are pretty damn good! 5 million puffins breeding in the area he visited. They are hunted under licence in a particular season according to traditional methods for a very low population of people eating them. I have no problems with this. He even said it himself...a number of people will be offended by this because we think puffins are lovely and cute and the kids have the stuffed toy version and bill oddie looks at them on TV every springwatch etc etc etc etc. But the fact of the matter is this is a quite well controlled natural harvesting which, as many people have said, will have no affect on the population...especially in comparison with the effect over fishing will have on this and other seabird species. How many of you out there have had a cod and chips supper at any point in the last few years? Endangered species there on every menu, in every town, in every country. Frozen in every supermarket. Captain birdseye "Ye found my gold aarrrr, Tuck in". And no one blinks an eye. The conditions of animals in batterys and intensive farming that has been highlighted again and again....but I doubt too many of us are out there buying our free range chickens or traditionally raised pork/beef etc etc. But the cute little puffins....oh yeah. What a disgrace. Its been said time and again. Fishing as we know it is not sustainable. We all hate the thought of unemployed and impoversihed fishing communities around our coasts....but the time to make the hard decisions in regards to fish stocks came and went long ago. Chances are the only way we will see any recovery is if we have a major ban on fishing lasting years. Owen [/QUOTE]
