It's nature at work ! ;)

Except most animals strike an equilibrium with their environment...humans on the other hand are like a virus, taking over everything, consuming far more than we need.

Anyways, I'm having my sardines now...too busy to type ;)

Most animals strike an equilibrium because they are too damn stupid to do much else.

As setient beings, we make decisions on the rights and wrongs for our fishy friends.

Lets be honest, this Whale Shark hasn't got a ****ing clue where it is, or even what it is. My biggest fear is that it will catch sight of itself in one of those big plate glass walls and think...

a) F**k me - I'm soooo big, awesome or

b) does my fin look big in this.

Either way, I think it is right that we stand up for a creature that doesnt know any better. Or just eat it. Lets be honest, there are more deserving causes out there.
