If you don’t regulate the fisheries there will be no more fish. We’ve already seen that with Atlantic cod.
You are very gullible.
The latter is what is happening, and people are gullible enough to think that without said "regulation," those fisheries would have been gone long ago, by golly! Thank goodness for the government because those greedy, stupid, self-destructive blue collar oaf fishermen would have killed off their own livelihood and destroy their resource that had been providing a livelihood that had been feeding their families for generations, but the GOVERNMENT is so much smarter than they are that they protect them -- and us -- from themselves.
Understand: The Federal government is systematically making OUTLAWS of Americans who act to feed, clothe, and provide energy for fellow Americans as they had done for going on 200 years, and as humans have done for about the past 2,000 years. The Federal government has convinced YOU and others that without the Federal "grown up" in charge, why, environmental catastrophe would result! -- Yet it is all a sad, stupid, sorry lie.
The Federal government is making outlaws of food and energy producers in America. On the cattle range in question with the Bundy Ranch -- those turtles have adapted to a lot worse environmental catastrophe than a bunch of cattle over the millions of years they've existed on this old earth, and fish species have done the same. Don't you WONDER what impact about a quadruple number of Federally protected mammals such as seals, otters, etc., have on fish counts?
The fish are out there. So are the Feds, armed to the teeth. Controlling food and energy production is necessary for tyranny.
WAKE THE HELL UP.
