Violent action is needed.

This troubling article is an example of how one small part of the world can present vast danger to the rest of us.

It has been long known that ecosystems without predators quickly collapse because the top predators keep the lower order ones at bay. In the case of marine habitats, the next most important predator on the list after the shark is the Humboldt Squid and, if you thought Jaws was scary, you ain't seen nothing next to a pack of hunting squid.

Fishing boats that participate in destructive and illegal fishing for sharks and whales should be summarily sunk. A fifteen minute warning to get crew into lifeboats and a torpedo to destroy the fishing boat would do a great deal to protecting us all from the horror of a squid attack in quiet inshore waters.

Already in the Gulf of Mexico, squid numbers have become so great that fishermen in small boats are in fear of their lives after several boats were attacked and the crews literally eaten alive.

If the international community are unable to persuade other countries to prohibit destructive fishing which affects all the worlds oceans then unilateral force should be used to protect the more progressive countries rights to a viable oceanic ecosystem.

The same principles should apply to poaching of Elephant and Rhino for so-called Chinese medicines. Poachers should be summarily executed.

Its about time that the rest of the world put a forceful end to this destruction for superstitious medicine and so-called "cultural" precedents. We don't have time to continue to be nice and discuss it in a civilised way.
