urinate threw their skin? that must suck when they have to get dressed up for a wedding or something.

Likwid, I would tend to agree with you from a conservation standpoint... I don't like the thought of killing for no purpose either. I saw a mate do that on a cod boat many years ago and it kinda pissed me off.

But I guess they are really overpopulated. Kinda like deer in my home state of PA. I don't like the idea of hunting. I don't particularly see the sport in blowing away a deer with a high powered rifle. But the heards need thinned out.

At least you eat a deer vs. just destroying a dogfish and throwing it back in, but they are getting out of control.

And the good news is that no food goes to waste in the ocean. Something will feed off them.
