Notes on the below photographs:
The polar bear and seal photos were taken by researchers
who were tagging and examining them, to aid in their protection.
The polar bear is tranquilized, not dead. The tuna fishing
pictures were intended to give a reminder of what the tuna
on the local menu has gone through before arriving on the
plate. For all those objecting to the publication of these
type of photographs on the site (and we have rec'd some
nasty emails); tuna, chilean sea bass and many other species
don't grow in cans or on fish farms. A reduction in the
consumption of many over-exploited species in the wild is
needed if they and the planet's fisheries are to survive.
What type and amount of seafood each individual in our little
corner of the world choses to consume does make a difference.
