Wastage and Stupidity ?

I always said it is a shame communism ended in the west because radicals had to find another cause, any cause they did not care which one. Many found conservation and act stupidly. Others object to genetic modification of plants, many found aspects of global warming and immigration support to name just some. Uni professors who call themselves elites (what a narcissistic self opinionated title) found social justice causes of any kind. Without a cause their authority was waning. These radicals have become costly,irritating and a nuisance in society.
After saying that I think we all are conservative without being stupid about it and we all deplore wastage.
I made the following observation on a flight from Malaysia to Darwin- Australia. There were more than 1000 Indonesian fishing boats operating in the Timor Sea nor nor west of Darwin. Operating in twos and threes they had these very big fish tethered, up to 6. I couldn’t quite figure why.
After landing Darwin and completing all the immigration and customs documentation and refuelling the aeroplane I took a cab to town. I was telling the driver of the sighting. He said he had been a fisherman and said the big fish were sharks. The fishermen would cut the fins off the beasts (for an Asian delicacy, shark fin soup) and discard the bodies. Now I deplore that, the wastage that is. Why don’t they take the bodies as well. Indonesians I’m sure would use the meat.
Don’t you agree? Your opinion is welcomed.

Shark Fin Soup

Millions of sharks around the world suffer a prolonged and painful death for a mere bowl of soup — shark fin soup. With the fins being the only 'valuable' parts of their bodies, fishermen are often known to cut off sharks' fins while the animals are still alive and then dump their bodies overboard.
