I agree with what Mullins says. I don't like this kind of thing but I hesitate to judge them by
current western values (which seem a mixed bag). Is it any worse that British commercial fishermen throwing away prime fish that would take them above their quota? I think we need to make some allowance for other cultures - we're not always "right". Not sure if it is true but I recall somebody telling me that the US taught Japan how to whale as a way to help feed itself after the war. Certainly Britain was a whaling country at one time, and I wouldn't say that our morals have improved since then - but they have changed. They're changing now too, with the economy facing recession, food prices rising, house values falling, sky high fuel price & a govt. stuck in the mud. Then there was that thing with the American Bison.
Re. fish with characters, of course they do -- didn't you see Finding Nemo?!
