Re: Whale Shark in Atlantis Hotel
...while people may be "killing hundreds of fish and other marine life everyday"..this pales into insignificance when compared with the "billions" of fish and other marine life that is killed (or rather consumed) everyday by other marine creatures... a question of everyday life and death within the marine food chain or web. It's nature at work ! 
Anyways, I'm having my sardines now...too busy to type

Re: Whale Shark in Atlantis Hotel
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.
