...the Antarctic Fulmar, so like our own Fulmar at home in NW Scotland, save for the white patch on the end of its grey wing. The Sooty and White Shinned Petrels and the tiny Mother Carey's chickens.
How many millions of years have they been here? How did they learn to fly. How long is my own lifetime in all of this? Why must we needlessly destroy them all, now in this particular generation? Surely, if we can get to the moon, we can stop this needless slaughter of the Albatross?
What can you do? Or do you just not care? I'm sure you haven't got much time and you have some more pressing problems to solve.

The Patagonian Toothfish is caught at depths of around 2,000 metres in the Southern Ocean. A single sashimi-grade fish can be worth US$1,000. They fall to some of the 1 billion hooks laid down here each year. Albatrosses fall to many of the hooks too.Now, we're not talking about fish to feed the starving millions. No, the fish are eaten by Palm-Pilot folk, people with freedom to make choices in restaurants and super-markets. Patagonian Toothfish is not an attractive name, so it appears in restaurants as SEA BASS in USA and UK, MERO in Japan, LEGUNE in France. Just stop buying it!
And don't hesitate to tell the seller why.
