I saw the other day how even our seas are being over-fished now too.

Maybe there are just too many people for our planet to support anymore - and we are still breeding more and more every day.

Maybe that is why nature is dealing with things, and created this Virus? Who knows . .

I'm sorry to criticise, Muddy, but both China and India are entirely in the northern hemisphere.

Re: Extinction the facts

We have a fish quota, it's the other countries that are allowed to fish in our waters that are causing the problems. With their big nets & massive fishing fleets.

Yes, I think you are right.
Why don't they clear off and fish their own waters!

This, of course, is the EU trying to show us how much they hate us for daring to leave their little club.
They are hoovering up as many fish in our waters as they can before the end of the year when, hopefully, Boris will keep to his word and ban them from our waters.
That will, hopefully, give the fish time to begin to repopulate before they are all killed off.

Yes that makes sense JBR.
I hope we have enough left to breed again though.
