| | | Thom Yorke calls for stricter fishing laws
Radiohead star's fish fear
Radiohead singer Thom Yorke has called for stricter fishing laws to be passed to prevent fish becoming extinct.
The enigmatic frontman claims enormous demand from supermarkets for seafood is threatening the future of fish and he backed a Greenpeace campaign calling on world leaders to enforce sustainable fishing.
In a post on the official Radiohead website, he said: "Supermarket demand for fish (not that I eat fish or meat) has meant we are fishing to extinction.
"What I find particularly offensive are the enormous nets they use that drag everything up.
"Supermarkets should be made to source their fish responsibly and governments should act in the interest of our future to regulate for sustainable fishing - not this mass production/destruction s***.
"I respect people's right to eat fish. but every time I watch the guys in the band sitting down to their whatever it is with scales I quietly wonder how it's arrived. and what was destroyed and killed or thrown away to get it."
The singer also said the band were having a week off recording and revealed sessions for their forthcoming album are going well.
"We had a good week in the studio last week," he added. "Finally things are growing."

I completely agree with Thom. Fuck off if you think he's whining, someone has to raise awareness about these things and I hope people listen to him. |

| | | It doesn't matter if he raises awareness or whatever...these people have to get over the fact that most people don't fucking care. They'd rather eat their fish, and when that fish dies out they'll find a new one to eat. |

The fact is if that if a few species of fish die out, the whole ecosystem is ruined and they'll ALL die out. The way those fisheries carry on there will be no fish at all in a few years. Right now the estimate is 50 but it could be even less. |

Still, the majority of suppliers don't care. They need to make money now. |
