I saw a program on the cooking channel where a guy was taking a motorcycle rood trip up New England.One of his first stop on his road trip i believe was in Connecticut for a stop
to try a local delicious eels. The first thing his guide did was to chop a horseshoe crab in half
he picked a crab from several that he had. this was done with total disregard for said crab in its impact on the ecosystem. For years the Red Knot population on the upper east coast has seen s dramatic drop in the numbers of this species Fisherman for years have caught and used them for bait. there was no idea or control of the capture of the ancient creature
they lay very large numbers of eggs in sand from this bounty of eggs hundreds of other animals are able to build fats reserves to allow them to make to there arctic breeding grounds. its is imperative that we learn to co exist with creatures that has a right to these areas. whats going to happen when there is no more wildlife. They have a greater chance to adapt to changing environmental changes than we do. It's time we found some alternative to the way we have always done it
