Yo estaba encantado de ver a España la adopción de medidas para ayudar a sus tiburones y espero que las futuras generaciones de niños en el Mediterráneo un día será capaz de ver los tiburones viven en sus mares y no sólo los acuarios.<br /><br />Espero que esta traducción es correcta!OfficetoOceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994215418331139925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024089322275291847.post-20616920750124973332012-01-26T22:44:06.688+00:002012-01-26T22:44:06.688+00:00Muy triste que el tiburon tenga tan mala reputacio...Muy triste que el tiburon tenga tan mala reputacion, pero como dices, es un paso en el sendero correcto.

Gracias for pointing it out!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment :)OfficetoOceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994215418331139925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024089322275291847.post-53508863692438495492012-01-26T17:03:26.107+00:002012-01-26T17:03:26.107+00:00As an animal lover, diver and u/w videographer tha...As an animal lover, diver and u/w videographer that loves and tries to protect marine life, I feel very happy about the news and I agree, these good news are coming late, a lot of damage is already done, but finally something is being done. Movements begin with small steps. Not just in shark matters but also the Spanish government and lots of institutions and NGOs (can tell you plenty of them) are working into overfishing problems, marine pollution, cetaceans, coasts politics and a lot of other concerns that the Med and Atlantic and Cantabrian sea are facing.<br /> <br />As a catalan & spanish I must say something else... It took us a while too to ban bull fights in Catalunya, but we did it and hopefully the rest of communities in Spain will follow the example. Therefor I must say you are making generalizations about Spanish and our animal-human relationship as there are millions of us trying to fight against animal cruelties, marine conservation and protection, reinforcement of the laws, education... WE ARE NOT INDIFFERENT TO ANIMALS IN SPAIN. We are definitely not the best divers (I swear) or the more concerned country about environmental issues, but that doesn't put the whole nation under the same tag. <br />And by the way I should say that most of the public attending to bullfights in Spain (and other countries like Mexico) are American, English and Japanese citizens, no offense for these countries, but I'm pretty sure is the overseas tourism the one that is supporting the bullfights that still take place in some communities... <br />So keep up the good work but please try to avoid generalizations like the one on this entry.Annanoreply@blogger.com
