@SAKN
First of all remember i'm argumenting in my second and weak language but i'll try to explain. Id much rather would love to meet you and Tsunamakiki in person to have an open debate on the matter at hand. Not threatening you big guy, I wouldn dream of it. Okay, only dream ;-)
1. Your first comment on the 4x4 ban is absolutely irrelevant to the matter at hand. due to the absolute different merrits of the case. I mean, one is about designated driving spots and the other in the fishing industry. Land trafficing vs. Ocean fisheries. You sound stupid to say that. But yes you are correct, a few people did cause that, Drunken drivers on the beaches which led to the deaths of PEOPLE (Not fish).
2. Banning spearfishing as the cause to depleting fish stock = NONSENSE. Do you know anything about spearfishing as a sport ? Lets say I do about 60 dives a day, in an area about as big as your backyard ! With visibility of lets say 10 metres. Now I dive about 6 or 7 hours. And I bring out 6 fish. I do this once a year.
BUT why dont you look at the chinese, watch blue planet, see the bigger picture, Trawlers, HUNDREDS of kilometers, catching HUNDREDS of fish, EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. Sundays included.
Directing all this attention to 3 guys on a nice mozam trip once a year, within the regulated catch amount is just sad.
3. Spearfishers can reach places no anglers can. Wow, a 4 metere boat in the ocean. Yah, its going to deplete the stocks. Big threat. Direct your attension to bigger problems.Anglers on their boats like Tsukamiki do lets say 40 km a day of surface area. Bringing out 280kg marlin and stuff. And loads of fish (and now Tsunamiki is going to say he tags and release because he is conserving the oseans S.O.S - save our seas. But then again, Ethics, your subjective ethics which you cant force unto anyone. If they want to keep their fish and eat it, by all means. Not your problem. (Im with you on that, SOS, I love the marine live, I love scubba diving and all that, And sustainable development of our fishing stocks) BUT DIRECTING IT AT 3 GUYS and leading to this huge debate in stead of sayin. (Try shooting less fish, thats a lot - BUT Tsunami here, Wanting their ID, Seeing that it got into the mozam newspaper, posting it on several social media sites ect.- WOW, you've got a lot of time hey buddy)
I know i sound like such an ******. But this dispute touched me, firstly the slandering comments on the amount of fish we shot (whithin the legal limmits by the way). And yes sir you are saying law vs. ethics. This is a democratic world, and i'm stunned to think that YOU say different people should have your subjective ethics. Yes, maybe we shot 17 fish that day between the guys. Oh damn. I got a little trigger happy because its been a LONG time since i went spearfishing. (Lock me up for that, wow) Ignorant you are to anything I have to say.
And yes I may be young, and an arrogant law student. That may be how I am, but its gotten me far. I am NOT afraid to stand up for myself. No matter who, or what you are. That is just who I am.
And the guy Saying that I, as a law student that should respect the law but we brought fish tail buck illegally or whatev. Get your facts right, I wasnt even on that trip in December 2012. So keep your opinions for yourself, I do respect the law. I follow it by the letter. all these comments here are speculations, subjective opinions and so on so forth.(debate)
PS the "ou tannie" thing. I call everyone that if I think they are making a big deal of something not even remotely worthy of it. Soos n ou tannie wat van lekker skinder hou. Sorry If I offended you with that.
Okay, I think im done.
