If CITES is an international convention why would only the US be affected?? Is it because other countries will not honor the treaty? Wouldn't they become poachers if the world has banned the sale and hunting of tuna?
If there is a real reason to protect any species from overfishing, even at the expense of commercial fisherman, I am all for it. The commercial fisherman can find another job or hobby but when the species is gone they cannot be brought back.
