COMMENT THIS PHOTO(1)
This is a classic "smash & grab" fish-plundering of another nation.
Here in Chile, our sardine stocks are depleted due to over-fishing & "hoover" methods utilised by the Chinese who then add insult to injury by selling us our fish cheaper than locally produced canned fish.
Competition? No, our local guys fish with a view to stock preservation, but increasingly, there is less & less stock naturally available. Just as the situation off West Africa.....they are robbing the locals of their natural resources...More so than here, we have alternatives...the West African people do not.
How can this be right. Or just?
I apologise in advance.......This is not a political forum...& may it ever be so. But....I had to say this.
