But will this make us stop treating these animals in totally inhumane ways?"

Losing Nemo: Short animated film about industrial overfishing : TreeHugger: "Overfishing is one of the biggest problems our planet currently faces. Just imagine if instead of taking place underwater, unseen by most people, all of these activities took place on land. If we regularly saw huge industrial machines roam around the land, indiscriminately catching and killing billions of wild animals... This would be seen as totally unacceptable. Yet because it takes place in the oceans, most people never give it much thought."

OCEANCARE

OCEANCARE:

Marine animals are dependent on their hearing to navigate, communicate, find a mating partner and catch prey. But sound levels in the oceans are rising constantly. Military sonars used to locate submarines are a particular danger, as their sound waves can be heard within an underwater radius of about 3,000 kilometres. Shipping, offshore oil platforms and the use of airguns in seismic oil & gas explorations all add to the ear-battering racket.
