Petition #3

The Animal Rescue Site shared a petition asking people to help save whales from getting caught in fishing nets. The swordfish industry sets drift gill nets to catch swordfish off the Coast of California, but swordfish are not the only animals being caught in the nets. A drift net is a fishing net supported upright in the water by floats attached along the upper edge and sinkers along the lower, so as to be carried with current or tide. Roughly over one hundred marine animals that are protected are killed because they get caught in the netting unable to escape. Some of the marine life that has been caught in these nets are endangered whales, which threatens their rest of their existence.

Let's help end the killing of endangered whales and other endangered marine life before it is too late! There are other fishing supplies that help catch swordfish and does less damage to the lives of whales and other marine life.

Here is a picture of how marine life can be trapped in a drift net:
