Renowned Chula veterinarian slams her crew for illegal fishing of stingrays

SUNDAY, JULY 02, 2017

I don’t recall the esteemed veterinarian voicing her concerns so loud when, as she said, many stingrays die because of polluted water, and other illegal fishing that is going on all around the country’s waters.

However, if this incident will bring the right attention to the plight of the dying stingrays, then it would have served a good purpose.

Whether it is local or foreigners, punish them severely if they have no permit for this or jail them if they are found to have been abusing drugs!

With hunting, you kill the animal. 
With catch and release you don’t, especially if you don’t take the fish out of the water.

Why were they not thrown in jail ( same as the Russian woman jailed and fined Bt1,00,000 for feeding fish )?

Take away their value as a tourist attraction and all you have left is a huge, tasty treat for midnight fishermen.

Regulations allow for stingrays to be caught for “research purposes” the same excuse Japan uses to catch  whales.
