FISHING HARMS FISHES, HUMANS, AND SEA MAMMALS

 

 

 

 

HEALTH BENEFITS FROM NOT EATING THEM:

WHILE MAMMAL EATERS HAVE THE HIGHEST RATES OF INTESTINAL CANCER AND

DAIRY PRODUCT EATERS BREAST AND PROSTATE CANCER, FISHFLESH CONSUMERS

HAVE THE HIGHEST RATES OF STOMACH CANCER. THESE INCLUDE NORWAY,

CHILE, KOREA, JAPAN, PERU.

DR. OWEN PARRETT, AUTHOR OF "DISEASES OF FOOD ANIMALS" FOUND THAT

EVEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN TROUT HAVE WORMS IN THEIR FLESH.

AS MAMMALS ARE AT THE TOP OF THE EARTH FOOD CHAIN, FISHES ARE AT THE

TOP OF THE OCEAN FOOD CHAIN. THEIR FLESH CONCENTRATES MANY TOXINS.

THE LIVERS EVEN OF POLAR BEARS HAVE POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENOLS.

THE MERCURY LEVELS OF THE OCEAN CONCENTRATE IN FISH CAUSING

FATALITIES AND MEMORY LOSS.

FISHES ALONG WITH DAIRY PRODUCTS AND MEAT ACCOUNT FOR 97% OF FOOD

POISONING FATALITIES.

THERE IS NO VITAMIN C IN ANY ANIMAL OR FISH PRODUCT.

THERE IS NO NATURAL BULK IN ANY ANIMAL OR FISH PRODUCT. THEREFORE

FISHFLESH IS CONSTIPATING.

OTHER HEAVY METAL CONTAMINANTS CONCENTRATED IN FISHFLESH ARE ARSENIC,

CHROMIUM.

EVERY EARTH INSECTICIDE FLOWS INTO THE OCEAN ADDING TO THE TOXINS

SOME MARGARINES CONTAIN FISH OIL DERIVED VITAMIN D. DICK GREGORY

COMPARES EATING LIVER DERIVED OIL TO EATING THE FILTER OUT OF A CAR.

THE SECOND CAUSE OF HEPATITIS IS THE EATING OF SHELLFISH WHO ARE

COPROPHAGOUS OR WASTE EATERS.*

CATFISH ARE ALSO BOTTOM FEEDERS OR COPROPHAGOUS, EUPHEMISMS FOR THEIR

SCAVENGING ON THE WASTE OF OTHERS.

 

Thank you to Ingrid Newkirk for raising our consciousness about using

the word "fishes" rather than "fish". * Whether or not NY and

Baltimore still dump unprocessed human waste into the ocean.. upon

which lunch shellfishes dine, it can be demonstrated that the Jewish

dietary laws which exclude shellfish eating are very wise.. both from

elimination of hepatitis and of food poisoning prevention.

 

 

HOW DO FISHES DIE?

Fishes die of suffocation, of injuries as hooks are ripped out of

them, of being dropped alive into boiling water. Some others die of

the many toxins humans have dumped into the waters of earth. Some are

eaten by other fishes.* We are not sure if one Eastern seaboard

newspaper and its church owners are still invested in some of the

longest fishing lines in the world, which have suffocated millions of

dolphins, sea turtles, and what fishers call "trash fish", since they

have no value to those who catch them to kill them. Pelicans and

other ocean birds get caught in the lines as well. A 42 year old

sturgeon can have her ovaries ripped out for caviar. All oysters are

untimely ripped from their cloisters. The sturgeon eggs (caviar) and

oysters fight back by bequeathing posthumous food poisoning.

The State of Maryland has spent millions promoting its crab industry,

despite the food poisoning, hepatitis and other problems associated

with crab flesh.. and despite the suffering imposed on the crabs. (It

has also illegally supported short line railroads to Eastern Shore

poultry slaughterhouses.) Please contact Lt Gov Kathleen Kennedy

Townsend. Her office phone number: 410 974 2804.

There is a conflict ongoing between natural gas owners of the

Southwest and coal owners of Ky, Oh, WV, Pa etc. The EPA states that

50 million tons of mercury a year are sent into the atmosphere by

U.S. utilities, and that this mercury concenrates in the fat of

fishes, causing memory loss, serious weight loss, and some fatalities

to humans eating the fish.

WORLD PEACE

The multination fighting over ever dwindling fishes is well known.

Even sea lions and seals are being bludgeoned by fishermen competing.

The last four nations involved in whaling: the United States, Japan,

Norway, and Iceland .. are also involved in fishing disputes. (Some

believe that the Makah whaling was an attempt to open the door to the

whaling of Iceland and Japan.) While fishes' populations are

dwindling, the agricultural yields of other products are 1. Animal

flesh 100 to 1000 lbs. an acre 2. Dairy Two to 10,000 lbs an acre 3.

Vegetables Up to 80,000 lbs. an acre 4. Fruit (anything which drops

off a tree, plant, vine or bush.. such as nuts, seeds, peas, beans,

etc.): 450,000 lbs. an acre. Orchards have 450 times the food yield

per acre that slaughterhouses have.

FISH STORIES EXPANDED: Those who abstain from fisheating are

vegetarians not vegans. The following are some stories about fishes.

a. A man took his daughters fishing in Tampico Bay in Mexico.. and

was spiked by a large catfish which severed a hand artery. He was

able to get medical attention for the profuse bleeding. b. Janet

Barkas, editor of Grove Press, goes fishing and catches a hook in the

fish' eye. That is her last day fishing. c. PW, at the Soldier and

Sailors' Home in Washington, catches the same fish out of the pond

virtually every day for 10 years.. each time pulling the hook from

the throat.. sometimes with flesh attached. PW died of throat cancer.

(The child of a well=known presidential candidate went to a hospital

to be treated for his flyfishing hook which was imbedded in his

nose.) d. St. Blaze is considered by Catholics the patron saint of

protection from fishbyproducts since he is said to protect the lives

of those choking on fish bones. e. One national cancer association

reports that fish consumption is related to stomach cancer.. those

countries with the highest fish consumption having the highest rates.

Included are Korea, Japan, Chile, Norway and others. f. The EPA

issues 3500 warnings against fish consumption in one year alone..

because of high levels of pcb's (polychlorinated biphenols), arsenic,

chromium, mercury etc. g. One fisherman reports that after seeing the

fishes gasp for air in the bottom of his boat.. as they slowly

suffocate.. he will never fish again. h. Syndee Brinkman: I went

snorkeling and saw how gently the fish welcomed us into their world..

and how violently we welcomed them into ours.. I never ate an animal

or fish again. i. EB was a fisherman all his life and lived into his

mid nineties. He stopped fishing after he dreamt one night that he

was tiny and a fish was very large. The fish had him on a hook. The

sale of fish brings 54 million to the state of Maryland, whose

governor has just prevailed on 3 chains in the Washington area to

begin again to sell Chesapeake fish despite the pfiesteria disease.

One factor of many in the disease of the fish might be the Calvert

Cliffs nuclear power plant, which raises the temperature of the water

in the area. j. NPR caller, Oct 27, 97: My mother never got to see

the same military MD twice, so it was years before medical detectives

realized that her Saturday headaches were caused by her Friday

fisheating with an allergy to iodine. k. NPR November 6, 1997: Dr.

James Porter of the Univ. of Athens at Georgia is studying the many

new fishes diseases such as black band and white pox. He says that

increased shipping, increased pollution, and overfishing (perhaps an

oxymoron) are factors for the rise. In one year, says the EPA, the

coral diseases have quadrupled. Snorkelers are advised that coral is

not a dead rock but a colony of living animals and therefore asked

not to remove them. l. U.S. News and World Report Nov 24, 1997: One

of the strains causing food poisoning in shellfish is Vibria

Vulnificus. m. The phrase 'fresh fish' is an oxymoron. n. Prince

Philip is one of many in a coalition concerned about fisheries

exhaustion. NPR in May reported that many penguin babies are expected

to die because there are not enough fishes for them to eat. Whether

one eats fishes or does not, the dying fisheries need to be

restocked. o. There have been many fraternity house deaths from

choking in an attempt to swallow live goldfish and other fish. (May

God bless those souls.) p. Many fishermen and women have drowned,

e.g. Jerry Garcia's father. q. 150,000 turtles drown every year in

shrimp nets, says Eric Bates of the Texas Observer (For the article

write Manny Pastreich mpastreich@c...) There are also over

100,000 dolphins caught in tuna fish and other nets, and many whales

are caught in lobster lines. Lisa Simpson of the Simpsons rescued a

fish caught in a 6 pack plastic holder and threw him back into the

water. For information on how ocean birds are harmed by fishes' nets

write 100302.1616@c... r. While the UNFAO The United

Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says the oceans are dying

and there are not enough fishes for those who want to eat them, the

Dept. of Interior in July sponsored a week of fishing.

http://www.fao.org s. The Texas Dept. of Health states that 245

people have been victims of illness from oysters in Galveston Bay.

The bacterium is Vibrio parahaemolyticus. 208 people have had oyster

illness in the Northwest. t. The Oklahoma Dept. of Env. Quality has

asked pregnant women to avoid catfish in certain parts of Oklahoma

because of high insecticide content in the waters and in the fishes.

(JanaWilson@a...) u. With asbestos in Lake Michigan, pcb's in the

livers of polar bears in Alaska, oyster contamination in the Gulf

from the runoff of the Mississippi, lipophilic insecticides in Lake

Erie, pfiesteria in the Atlantic seaboard ..arsenic, chromium and

mercury, pcb's, insecticides, fish killing old oil and every other

toxin in the oceans, shellfish in the NE eating unprocessed human

waste, where is there fresh fish? Farmed salmon in the NW, says an

NPR guest on Feb 24th, can be released into the wild exploding new

bacteriae into the ocean. v. Arsenic poisoning (arsenic from the

oceans is concentrated in the flesh of fishes) creates lesions and

warts on the hands. NPR reported on Dec 29, 1998 that many million in

Bangladesh are dying of arsenic poisoning from its concentration in

well water, and in water of the delta. w. Dr. Owen Parrett, MD has

spoken of the worms present in Rocky Mtn. trout. In Dec of 98, AP

reported on a parasite worm affecting many trout in Colorado, Idaho,

Montana etc. The parasite causes the fishes to turn in circles until

they die. x. Government recalls in Jan 99 18,000 l

Indiana: Fish kill spills into governor's race ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 18 — Riverfront residents knew something was

wrong when carp began leaping 7 feet out of the water and thrashing

about on shore. Before long, dead carp and minnows were piling up on

the banks. Hundreds of thousands of fish — more than 85 tons — have

collected along a 50-mile stretch of the White River since the water

was poisoned five weeks ago by what investigators suspect was an

industrial polishing agent used at an auto parts plant. In his

1996 campaign, Gov. O'Bannon used TV commercials to attack his GOP

opponent over a sewage release in the city that killed 500,000 fish

in the White River. "IT IS LIKE someone dropped a nuclear

bomb," said Josh McDermott, who lives near the river. "The fish had

jumped 6 or 7 feet onto the shore. It was like they were jumping out

of the water to try and get away from whatever it is." State

and federal officials still are trying to pinpoint the source of what

has become one of the worst fish kills ever in Indiana. While

the full effects won't be known for months, federal prosecutors are

conducting a criminal investigation, environmentalists are condemning

the state's response as too slow, and opponents of Democratic Gov.

Frank O'Bannon are using it to try to undermine his re-election

bid. 'DMDK' DANGER Catfish, bass, sunfish and other

game species all died between Anderson and Indianapolis along the

White River, which supplies 60 percent of the drinking water to

800,000 people in and around Indianapolis. The state

Department of Envirommental Management said the contamination never

posed a threat to people. The water was polluted even before

the fish kill. Industries line the banks upstream from Indianapolis.

Swimming is not permitted, and though boating and fishing are

popular, health officials issue warnings each year about the number

and species of fish that are safe to eat. State environmental

officials believe that dangerous amounts of sodium

dimethyldithiocarbamate, or DMDK, entered Anderson's wastewater

treatment plant about Dec. 11 and killed microbes that are needed to

break down ammonia from raw sewage. Then, environmental

officials said, the high levels of ammonia and carbon disulfide, a

byproduct of DMDK, were released into the river. Both chemicals are

dangerous to aquatic life. Ten industrial companies in

Anderson filter their waste through the treatment plant. Only one —

Guide Corp., which makes lights and other auto parts — uses DMDK,

according to the Department of Environmental Management.

Exactly how the DMDK got into the water is not clear, but Guide is

supposed to pretreat its waste before releasing it to the city

treatment plant, environmental officials said. COMPANY UNDER

FIRE Guide has denied responsibility for the

contamination. Even if Guide is not responsible, it could be

fined up to $50,000 for twice refusing to allow state environmental

inspectors inside its plant. On Jan. 12, state officials obtained a

search warrant and went inside to question employees and examine

records. Guide spokesman Raquel Bahamonde said the company

simply wants to "ensure it can reasonably and responsibly comply with

the department's continued requests for information without

disrupting its business." Last week, Guide hired a new

chairman and chief executive. It said the change was unrelated to the

investigation. GOVERNOR'S RACE Guide employees are not

the only ones under fire. The Anderson wastewater treatment plant was

criticized for allowing a week to pass before reporting elevated

levels of ammonia in its discharge. And environmentalists have

held news conferences in front of piles of dead fish, complaining

that the state responded too slowly and failed to keep the public

informed. The state said it acted on the information it had at

the time. But Environmental Management Commissioner Lori Kaplan

conceded the state should have acted sooner. In an election

year, the controversy is also surfacing in Indiana's governor's race.

The Republicans are accusing O'Bannon's administration of bungling

the state's response to the fish kill. In his 1996 campaign,

O'Bannon used TV commercials to attack his GOP opponent, former

Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith, over a sewage release in the

city that killed 500,000 fish in the White River. This time

around, John Price, an Indianapolis lawyer seeking the GOP nomination

for governor, stood by dead fish on the riverbank and filmed his own

commercial, saying he wants to protect Indiana's rivers. He has also

said he would have handled the fish kill better than O'Bannon.

O'Bannon accused the GOP of playing politics. During his State of the

State address last week, he proposed doubling the fines for criminal

environmental violations. "Make no mistake about it, any

polluter that contaminates our rivers or befouls our air will be held

accountable under the law," O'Bannon said. SLOW

RECOVERY In the meantime, the Indianapolis Water Co. has

increased chlorine treatment and is drawing more of its water from

other sources as a precaution. The Department of Natural

Resources said it is too soon to say how long it will take the river

to recover. "You cannot take away in a week what took so many

years for nature to place there and expect that things will recover

miraculously," spokesman Stephen Sellers said. © 2000
