UN’s Warning: Stop Industrial Fishing

The United Nations (UN) has issued a warning saying that commercial fishing could be destroyed within 50 years. "It is not a science fiction scenario. It is within the lifetime of a child born today," said Achim Steiner, head of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). In fact, according to his colleague, Dr Pavan Sukhdev, if current fishing practices continue the way they are today, maybe in 30 or 40 years down the line the planet might be out of fish. The UN's recommendation calls for up to 22 million jobs involved with fishing and up to 13 million boats removed from service.

We are devastating God's Creation in spite of the many warnings issued by experts and the planet itself. If we call ourselves good stewards of God's Creation, then there is no room for us in supporting industries that cause environmental destruction, animal suffering and that promote human sickness.
