Comments, Virtual Meeting - NYSDEC Proposes New Fishing Rules to 'Protect' Sharks

From: Animal Defenders of Westchester (ADOW)
June 3, 2023 

THE NYSDEC IS SEEKING COMMENTS ON THEIR NEW RULES TO 'PROTECT SHARKS' - PLS COMMENT; CONTACT INFO BELOW.

Pls also add comments on Patch.

FACTS: Sharks are an important part of the ecosystem.

Fish are NOT inanimate objects: They are sentient, intelligent and sociable. Catch and Release is a disaster for fish. An 'angler' has already stated the 'real' problem is wind farms - but these 'recreational fishers' who use bait, fake lures etc. do indeed contribute - and can find entertainment that doesn't involve killing any living beings.
