Sharks at the meeting

THE SEA IS FIRST TO MARINE ANIMALS.

WHAT A PRETENSION TO BELIEVE IN IT AT HOME!

SEA SHEPHERD and CPHA file an appeal to the Tribunal to stop shark fishing in the Reunion Marine Reserve  

Surfers drunk with hate, inedible sharks and a Minister of Ecology with absent subscribers!

There are therefore many reasons to protect these species from fishing, but the Prefect has heard none. On the other hand, he very well heard the calls for battles demanded by the Surf League and certain “sea users” following recent accidents involving surfers and sharks. If these accidents are dramatic, it should be remembered that sharks do not surf in these waves, they live there. Smarter, more responsible solutions exist.

This guilty laxity of the authorities today gives free rein to intolerable excesses. Indeed, the association OPR (Ocean, Prevention, Meeting) which claims to fight to prevent shark risk in Reunion, organizes battles against sharks, beaten including funded by a recent fundraising at which, it is the purchase of a prosthesis for the last victim was put forward to motivate donations. Surfing the emotion to kill the sharks is recipe.

Let us add that in this case, the silence of the Ministry of Ecology is deafening. This is an additional discredit added to the case of oil interests in Guyana, which cost his position to the previous Minister of Ecology, Nicole Bricq. We recommend for our part the outright closure of this Ministry, which is nothing but an empty shell supporting the illusion, that in France, we are concerned about ecology.
