Obama set to kill off entire fishing industry in maine...

[Conservative]

Ummm...

The linked article says that this will affect 40 or so fishing boats.

That's pretty far from "the entire fishing industry".

I don't see that in the link Annie provided. Which link are you referring to?

EDIT: I see it now,. sorry.

Just the "Crucify Them!" mentality of this administration surfacing again and again and again. Just be thankful they haven't taken out the hollow points for use, yet.

With a 45 you don't need hollow points you get better penetration with ball ammo.

The estimated fatalities are so high, they triggered a provision in federal rules that will close a busy fishing ground that extends from Gloucester to southern Maine to gillnets for two months annually, starting this Oct. 1.

Some say the fishermen bear much of the blame for the closure. The porpoise can be avoided by equipping the nets with so-called pingers, which make periodic beeps that drive the porpoises away. All gillnetters are supposed to have working pingers at the corners of each of the nets they string together, but federal regulators said fishermen who use the affected area had only a 41 percent compliance rate.

"The industry has done itself a great disfavor, at least this segment of the industry, by not going up full bore ... with compliance," said David Pierce, a member of New England Fishery Management Council.

No personal responsibility there, eh?

Also:

Some of the roughly 40 affected boats are based in New Hampshire and Maine, but the majority is based in Gloucester. Fishermen there dispute both the high accidental catch rate and the low compliance rate.

I find it rather odd that they want to support porpoises being killed, but keep pushing the wind turbines that kills birds.
