    The fact that “mommy, what’s a <animal>?” future is becoming a reality should be a fucking emberassment for all of us. Yet no one will pause their fish consumption because “it’s tasty”. The earth is being killed for literal entertainment.

      But muh traditional cuisine.

      People are too stupid to realize that what worked for us 50 years ago doesnt anymore because there is almost three times as many of us.

      Still, every country out there is promoting breeding and having children. Everyone is trying to save our species from extinction as we’re surpassing 10 billion in numbers.

          I’m sorry this argument is utterly stupid, by this logic we shouldn’t grow vegetables either.

          This is the kind of quick talking points some PR intern throws together overnight for cheap because his boss needs to pitch against some bill or more likely try to keep the wild quotas high by arguing that their harvest is the actually sustainable model. You need to learn how to read these K-street pitches, or they’ll spin you to believing up is down and good is evil.

    I studied and lived with these species in Punta Tombo Argentina. Their food source is known to be moving further north. But we also saw these catastrophic events from time to time where the juvies had a super high mortality rate in their first year away

        That’s the weird part, because usually species will move to poles from climate change related stressors. The waters of coastal Patagonia have had issues with fishery mismanagement so that could explain the depleted stock. I have to talk to the researchers on the project to see if they’re learning more about the movement of the fish

    I wonder when global governments wake up and realise they are sawing the branch they sit on, at this rate i shudder when i think of my kids and their future.

    The comments here are at the same level of any mainstream platform. You made it lemmy! You are mainstream now!

    Why are penguins being stranded on the beach like they’re whales? That’s disturbing to see.

      Massive die offs happen all the time. We’re just around to record these things now.

      Having said that, seems alarming they were starved. Much to unpack there.
