Luckily... I know only 2 of the names you've mentionned ! And I don't have anything from neither. Here, the story we get about the roos are that there are too many of them, and that Australia even had to built a fence from north to south to control them !
Here in Canada, there's the seal hunt thing. It,s done, legaly mind you, by probably less than 100 people and again, Europe is the ONLY importer od the furs. To do their killing, they have to venture out by boats and get onto huge ice things that floats here and there. This year, 4 of them drowned and you wouldn't beleive the reaction ! I'll speak for the majority it seems... the reaction was that they deserved it, the YE for the seals for once. Although 4 people died... they got VERY little sympathy from anyone. The story is the same for the elephants or rhinos in Africa... if we can cut the demand... so between the Europeans and the Chineses... The seas are already empty... nothing we can do now... too late. I guess we could go on and on... so thank you for raising the awarness Birte...
