NYT: Cat Got Your Fish? By PAUL GREENBERG - Op Ed

Interesting bit in the NYT today about how we seem to be eating ourselves

from the inside outward from a global perspective, with wild fish being the

mince-meat for the fish meal & oil industry as one example. From the

article:

 

³The rising demand, particularly from Asia, is fueling a perilous trend to

³reduce² bigger and more valuable wild fish into pig, chicken and fish

feed.²

 

I am not doubting Mr. Greenberg, but does anyone have any figures /

explanations why this would be true? Or is it just a statistical anomaly

that Asians are using up more wild fish to feed domestic animals.

 

Us cats here in Kathmandu wanna know, thx.
