Stephanie Boyles, a wildlife biologist at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said, "When they get hooked they feel pain just like a cat or a dog or a duck."

Dear Stephanie,
That's why when we bring them aboard we hit them on the head with a billy and end their suffering!

The big problem here is commercial over fishing, closing these "refuges" to all,then allowing commerical "harvesting" to continue on the remainder creates havoc on the stocks.

I see that you refute PETA's argument. But you support banning costal fishing operations?

That actually is the problem. The commercial fishery with their tight seine nets grab everything they can get from the sea. The fish they throw back are dead, and only the sea gulls prosper.

Too much waste.
