Your spamming is getting tiring
Was it higher?Incorrect.
was that a thret?Your spamming is getting tiring
other fish?What do fish eat? I thought it was plankton.
whiting?Manyy sharks do not make good eating fish, most of the better eating fish a a lot lower down the food chain!
Yeah, but "contaminants" are rare in terrestrial animals, where generally the chain goes plant -> herbivore -> predator. You only really have to worry about biomagnification when you're talking about marine animals, where the chain can go bacteria -> algae -> herbivore -> predator -> predator -> predator etc.Well would an animal with a higher food chain absorb more contaminants from each species in the chain below them than one that just eats grass?
You basically described the problem of farming dolphins and whales.we dont farm carnivores becvause of the higher costs in food and less return.
carnivores generally grow slower and need more food which is expensive lol
feeding some lions a sheep a day or letting 10 sheep run around and eat naturally occuring grass lol what to do
the thread isnt even about this though for fuck sake
dude i used pigs as an example if you would read the thread lolThis thread is a bit retarded shane, didn't read.
You picked the least interesting species to discuss.
Pigs are among the most intelligent animals, generally regarded as equally intelligent as dogs. Yet they are subjected to among the worst conditions of all farmed species. We would not tolerate dogs being kept in such conditions. Why is eating pig okay? Why not farm dogs and cats for food?
I wonder what the current laws are on slaughtering dogs for food? Seems a bit inconsistent to prohibit it. I should be able to pick up lunch from the pound, they were only going to be put
down anyway.
Farming dolphins is far fetched. Minke whale harvest on the other hand, as undertaken by the Japanese, is sustainable. Tim flannery said so.
Eat minke, live.
Bit of a slippery slope though. I don't trust the catch remaining sustainable. Nor that it wouldn't expand to other, non-sustainable species. Needs to be heavily regulated by international agreement. Perhaps the taboo that exists on whale meat is for the best.
