So, sardines are going to be a protected species now? Oops, I just ate a bunch of them for supper! (Tomorrow night: Spotted Owl Kabobs...)

Save the sardines! Bash the skull in of an evil sardine eating baby seal!
To: neverdem
Holy mackerel!
We cause the number of cattle in the world to increase, and it's killing the environment!
We cause the number of fish in the world to decrease, and it's killing the environment!
We're just evil. We should all die. That would make the enviro-wackos happy.

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

My recommendation is kill all the terrorists; chum 'em up and feed 'em to the sardines.
On second thought, check that decision. Feed 'em to the hogs; put the hogs through the Saddam's shredders and airdrop the remains over Baghdad, Falujah, Mosul, and the rest of that rat infested country. Part two is to do the same over Mecca.

I find the idea entirely plausible.
We have no idea of how delicate the balance is in our world.
One thing I do know for sure... We are terrible... wasteful stewards.
To: kennyboy509
That's what I was thinking. And, what about the flatulence? Shouldn't we be calling for an international sardine flatulence tax on all sardine fishermen and consumers?

But when sardines are scarce, the phytoplankton survive uneaten, only to sink to the bottom, decompose and produce methane and hydrogen sulfide gas that rise to the surface in giant clouds. Man, these people really know how to shoot themselves in the foot, as usual. Plankton, particularly the dinoflagellate Foraminifera, also provide the planet's largest carbon sink. Their skeletons are primarily calcium carbonate. They are the principal constituent of limestone.

Wasteful stewards? Nonsense!
Every time I lightly flour and snap fry a pan of fresh sardines, dusted with just a bit of paprika and drizzled with lemon juice upon reaching the table, I eat everything, including the heads.
To: neverdem
I like sardines in tobasco. Hard to find those..

Their skeletons are primarily calcium carbonate. What about the remainder of their carcass? Could that generate the methane and hydrogen sulfide as they claim?
