Today I have decided to blog because I saw something today while on boat patrol. It is a fishing net. This fishing net was cunningly hidden due to the weight of the fish caught in it, but it was fortunately discovered due to a plastic bag that was stucked in a big branch which is in turn caught by the net. This fishing net however has killed 2 fish that it caught. In actual fact, it caught a number of fish, about 20. I wondered who will be so cruel to leave the net there? According to what Eugene has told us, the illegal fisherman must have swam across to lay the net when the PUB is making the tide there low. It may also be possible that some fisherman's net was carelessly or accidentally dropped into the water as they were about to leave after a day's fishing. For the first time in my life, I actually see beings on the verge of death. As I was thinking if this form of action is morally accepted in the society, it came to my awareness fish we eat are most probably caught in the same manner. But I feel that legal fishermen will not leave their nets like this. This illegal catching is by all means, a form of inhumanity to me. But these are just my personal opinions. How do others feel about this? People may feel pity about it, but they take no action. As quoted of Ms Zeenat, they are the NATOs. I think WWS is a very beneficial society to our environment. Though its main purpose is to clean the waters of the rivers, there are external benefits to the creatures in the water. I feel that through WWS, I'm doing the good. :D
Anyway, I'm not publicizing for WWS, but I think we should do our part in conserving our environment.
Sigh~~~SKV will be back in 2 days time, that's so long away....
That's all folks :D
~Enjoying every moment of life :D~
