[gshdrums]

fucking asians i hope they all get shot

[customlegokarl]

[anarhiaENSVs]

mfckers threaten the solo sailors aswell. I would not like to hit those floating shtbars with 10 or 12 knots speed....

[rafflesia]

So sickening I can barely even watch. Thankfully I avoid everything containing "seafood," and therefore never support this repulsively evil barbarism.

[sixflagsdude]

assholes



[jamesa4050]

killing the sea might be part of the world depopulation plan.

[CleanCreative1]

@jamesa4050: it IS part of the plan. Not everyone can farm, but anyone can fish. Destroy that and you've destroyed the ability to survive for billions of people.

[akjetblue]

Can't understand a word he is saying.

[123machet]

@akjetblue Click "cc" for captions.

[jessyleejones11]

DO you know where your seafood is coming from? Most people forget there are lots for hungry ignorant people behind these killers, o and did i mention lots of money? KNOW WHERE YOUR FOOD COMES FROM< STOP FUNDING THEM

[natija08]

Horrible pictures.

Always killing, torturing, killing.

Humans!

[YazzoB]

Don't like this? Then do something about it! See the petition linked in the description? It's only up to about 15,000 signatures, and they want to get it to 30,000. Go to the link, and click the 'Take Action' that's next to the 'About' button (not the 'Take Action' button that's on the top of the page).

I don't usually ask for thumbs up, but please thumb this comment up, so others can see. With 100,000 views and only 15,000 signatures, a lot of people must not be seeing that link!

[fuerTiere]

Eat no fish !!!

[Vaanosa]

Fish :)

[GSatiFan]

STOP EATING TUNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats the only way you really can help...

[eakcinitourguide]

that is a good for the future. stop the killer now. Greenpeace go go.

[CllrPhilipBooth]

Thanks to the pilot for speaking out

[fernandamciewlreis]

a cada dia que passa o homem fica cada vez mais ignorante ,ignorando a vida a natureza ate que um dia vai ser tarde de mais e não vai ter tempo de arrependimentos disso eu tenho certeza

[siambrettera150]

asesinos HDP

[MrWhatsupwiththis]

If Green Peace is so concerned about this why aren't they joining with some of the worlds biggest fishing companys and participating with ISSP and being proactive in keeping the world feed at a substainable rate rather than scare mongering and misleading people who may see things like this video which is no where near what actually happens with most companies who fish for tuna. Wish I had the editing skills these guys do!!!!!

[iheartadrianalima]

@MrWhatsupwiththis well what is it really like then?

[DeanMotion]

Tuna is delicious!

[johnocc]

poor dolphins and whales :(

[TheFluktuationAcht]

Sick.

[xenotaku]

Don't tell your tuna company to source sustainably.....just stop eating tuna.

[HallounNizar]

What can the people watching this do concretely? Who should we contact? What can be done?

[StaticNova]

This has been working for more then 5000 years .. Why bother about it now ? Are you guys bored ? ..Lemme guess you are all vegans ? Stop it

[erfansvideos]

@StaticNova I swear if you were here and you said something like that I'd sock you in the face! How would you like it if someone cut your arms off and threw you on the side of the street to die? I'm not vegan, I eat meat. It doesn't take much (FOR ME) to understand whats going on in this video. Open your f***ing eyes dip shit!

[IndigoVagrant]

@StaticNova I'm not sure what you mean by "working", but at the current scale at which humans collect tuna from the ocean, we can't afford to be killing the young stock and endangered species in the process.

The world is the heritage of the future generations, not just us.

[803brando]

japs love their sushi.

[julianreischl]

@803brando There's no problem with Sushi, as the fish for Sushi has to be caught as well as the fish for your Tuna Sandwich or fish-and-chips-dinner. The problem generally is that humankind has developed technologies "too effective" so to say, and thereby kills of whole areas of marine life in a single go.

[CostaCetacea]

The FADs in Costa Rica are dolphin megapods and thats what these ships net here. Countless dolphins, sharks, billfish, rays and whales are killed everyday in Costa Rica and our conservation organizations do nothing! Help the dolphins of Costa Rica GreenPeace! Please! Some here want to keep this a secret. Help spread the word. We get in trouble here if we make waves. Stop purse seine nets in Costa Rica!!! WE are supposed to be Eco but until we ban these nets we are full of it.

[dissforlife]

@OldSchoolSkill you're right, an utter lack of motivation would certainly breed progress!

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

@dissforlife 1/2

Are you telling me that all your motivations in life is profit driven? Sad:(

We still listen to classical music, and we will do that in 500 years too. Probably because it is the best progress in music history so far. But that music was created in a time where being a musician ment living in poverty. Copyright did not even exists!

People were motivated, but not by profit or greed, but by a true passion. Today music is more profitable than ever, and music has never been worse!

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

@dissforlife 2/2

Also, think of all the stuff that is NOT created by passionate people today, because they instead have to be wage slaves just to survive.

Googles 20% time is a great example that progress is more likely when money is taken out of the equation.

Think about Paul Potts /watch?v=1k08yxu57NA

Many people will say profit(aka a talent show) made him famous, but the truth is that it was profit(aka mobile sales) that held him back in the first place.

[AubWD]

It's great that more people are becoming aware of unsustainable methods like this. Please tell us more. For people who enjoy tuna and want to continue enjoying it, what brands should we be buying?

[Raatatosk]

@AubWD

Don't ever eat any Bluefin tuna.

Blue fin tuna is actually already on the point of no return, it probably can't be saved. Mitsubishi quite recently built new fishing vessels to, as they say themselves, catch the last remaining stocks to freeze them for future market when they can get even higher prices than the ridiculous high prices we already have. Mitsubishi controls over 50% of the tuna market. Most of the Bluefin tuna cought is of course sold to Japan for their sushi market.

[jigglypiggly]

@Raatatosk I'll eat what I like, thank you.

[Raatatosk]

@jigglypiggly

Of course you do. You are not alone. There are too many of your kind, not caring about anyone but yourself. You are on of the main causes for the destruction of the planet and the human race and you are proud of it. Good for you Einstein :)

[Raatatosk]

@AubWD

I personally LOVE tuna and think it's one of the most amazing tasty food all categories. Unfortunately I've had to cut down on my consumption on it drastically the last decade.

Spain is absolutely a big and one of 3 main culprits to the mass destruction of our oceans and they do the most tuna fishing in Europe which they export mostly to Japan. They refuse to have any regulations and will keep on depleting the oceans and to fish unsustainably until it all ends naturally.

[Raatatosk]

@AubWD

Now to directly answering your question on what to buy.

Brand is hard to tell you but you should look for the MSC branding of ANY fish you buy. Today it's the best you can do. You can still buy Yellowfin tuna but they too are decreasing rapidly and it won't be many years until they too will be at the no return point as the Bluefin tuna. Tuna species take at least 5 years to mature and to start giving offspring. Catches are too large and fast for them to get a chance to reproduce.

[andrew2202]

stop this

[failblorg]

aren't there some bad stories about Greenpeace too?

[honeylm3]

im glad ive never ate tuna. this is inexcusable. this is killing the life of the oceans. so sad and frustrating to see but the world needs to know what is going on.

[PhantomLyric]

@honeylm3 See, the problem is, this video has nothing to do with the killing of animals. It has more to do with the effect on marine biodiversity due to overfishing. There is going to always be an endless supply of Tuna. It's the other animals to worry about. This video isn't supposed to encourage you to stop eating tuna or meat... It's to bring awareness to overfishing. The REAL problem is people having too many children. The larger the population... the more mouths to feed.

[bubblejasmine]

It sickens me that they do this. U think your eating tuna and from seeing this from the video my god I had no clue how can theses bastards do this to other marine life when they are only meant to catch tuna. They have no feelings on what they are doing . So so cruel . Well done on the guy that whistled blowed for letting us all know this . I had no idea !!!! I'm not buying tuna again until I know it's only tuna in it

[Haydee2829]

ES ESPANTOSO :(

[GreenLoveBreda]

Sick ass mofo's

[griffith243]

This has to be a one off, maybe sensationalism of some type!!! If not, well

[bta1352]

end of SeaLord for me. PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS.

[Mescinschi]

OMG ?

[tatimoraisdosantos]

I love it, everything in that fish is perfect, just because of this video I ill stop to eat Tuna! Everybody should do the same

[Purseiner]

Worst thing that ever happened to the tuna fishery was to chase the US fleet out of the Eastern Pacific and into the Western Pacific. I know people get upset about fishing on porpoise schools but it was proven that if done correctly like the US was doing zero percent mortality of porpoise was achievable (Medina Panel). Of course the media never let the public know that because there's no special interest money to be had. Sorry but creed is alive and well in the green crowd too. Fish smart...

[WithChildLikeFaith]

Its things like this that strengthen my resolve to continue my plant based diet free of animals.

[blueorangelettuce]

Every single day, this happens... all over the planet. Absolute lunacy. Humans can be such barbarians. Thank you Greenpeace for spearheading this movement.

[AnyRei]

IT COULD BE SO SIMPLE: DON'T EAT TUNA!

[TheWentzinator]

BASTARDS THEY ARE RAPING OUR OCEANS!!!

[Richard482]

To everyone commenting. Just buy tuna with 'Caught By Pole and Line' written on the tin :)

[AstairM5]

These are Korean boats - the US tuna fleet does NOT operate like this. By-catch does not outweigh product, it's minimal - Take it with a grain of salt....Greenpeace wants it to look worse than it is, and they succeed in doing so.

[nad666]

@AstairM5 - Really? You think this is sustainable? You're insane.

[AstairM5]

@nad666 Just curious...could you send me a link or something so I can read the data you've studied regarding tuna stocks and actual by-catch rates? Just so I can compare my knowledge to yours and expand my naive and ignorant point of view.....

[Raatatosk]

@nad666

Human nature is to not see what you don't want to see, mainly as a defence mechanism to not having to change behavior or views.

[vicky1517]

How can I know which mexican companies use this kind of tuna fishing?

[Talwynhawkins]

disgraceful

[bikermiker55]

Just stop eating Tuna!

[born2conform]

should post links to these on a new series of tuna adverts which are launching called "John West 'Story Behind Every Can'" can't seem to post links to other videos in the comments though

[vckbeefan]

like this comment if jared leto sent you here:)

[kizbo]

@vckbeefan seriously? your reaction to this video is a desire to get thumbs up because of jared leto? clearly you missed the point he was trying to get across.

[deff0001]

what about europe? I also want to say to tuna's companies of my country to clean up their policy

[JESA60]

Il peggio essere vivente... l'essere umano

[weswill2008]

I worked in a fish restaurant. Day after day, I and my co-workers fed old, nicely dressed people. Day after day we threw away their half eaten snapper, mahi-mahi, trout, salmon

With the convenience of capitalism, the elite are only becoming more distanced from the rest of society, and they are the ones with the power. They are also the ones who will say that fishing these fish is a necessity so that more people can throw them away.

Can't even trust a can of fucking tuna fish...

What can I trust?

[samphibian]

Add subtitles to the pilot's commentary, please. / Great work, Greenpeace. & Kudos to the pilot.

[gildlily78]

The oceans are going to become the last place we can get fresh food if we continue to ravage the land the way we do. This kind of practice is going to ensure we don't even have the oceans. I'm with you @OldSchoolSkill. Couldn't have put it better myself.

[brandoa1414]

Oohheck73. Your right! There are worse things happening in the world. But why should we turn a blind eye to a MAJOR food source that we all need to survive?

[oohheck73]

@brandoa1414 Who is we? do the countless dying children in poverty and disease riddled third world countries count as part of your "we"? or the gunfire that ravage the bodies of men, women, and innocent children on a daily basis in places like Afghanistan? Do they count? You people sit here rambling on with accusations of greed when the true selfishness lies in this war you have against your fellow man, driven by a personal pursuit of self preservation for you and yours. Look in the mirror.

[Jared4ever100]

@oohheck73 It's governments that fight wars though. Not the general population. Governments will do what they want. Look at all the protests of thousands of people in UK against the War On Terror....government took no notice. Democracy doesn't really exist anywhere. Don't blame innocent people for what a few people in power are doing.

[brandoa1414]

Damn orientals are a MAJOR reason why the tuna population is decreasing. They don't report the true numbers on their catches. Europeans as well. One day very soon there will be no fish left to catch of certain species. All due to the zipper heads in asia. Its a shame people like that need to be greedy.

[redleisa]

sick sick needs to stop! I haven't eaten tuna for years- I always believed that the "bycatch" far outweighs the product- and I was right- no matter how many times they all claim otherwise! don't buy ocean fish,- buy farmed fish. you need omega3? eat flaxseed oil, same thing , but even more benefits.

[oohheck73]

There's worse things happening in this world.

[Evaese]

@oohheck73 this is one of them.

[ilikegreengiraffes]

@oohheck73 because there's worse things going on which you can't change you shouldn't pay attention to things you don't think are worse but can do something about?

[alekscee]

Commercial fishing : /

Catch your own!

Or better yet, spear your own fish, the most environmentally friendly form of fishing!!

[HineTuAtchU]

This has got to stop...consumtion of unsustainable resources being wasted and decimated for our relentless consumption.!

[minnimerc]

The Large commercial Processing SHIPS should be outlawed also, With a return to smaller boats.

[Illkiron]

@OldSchoolSkill enough said my friend

[wilcosmilco]

@ErnieCosmo Where are we humans without that 'stupid fish?''

[TheRadFactor]

This is all myth. Overfishing, global warming, poverty increase. All is a myth. Where is that bucket of sand.. I wanna put my head in and pretend all is fine. Aaaah! here it is!

[deviceds]

Great now I have to worry about me eating tuna fish without guilt.

[beebeeguy69]

@deviceds You don't have to stop eating tuna. You can still enjoy tuna. Just ensure you are eating species that are not under threat. Don't support companies that are known to use these destructive fishing practices. And get involved with campaigns against companies that do. There is plenty you can do to empower yourself and stop this greedy, wasteful practice. Check out the Greenpeace website for further information on all of the above. It's great that you have enough conscience to care. :-)

[toyotaprius79]

@ErnieCosmo They're being wiped out! They're vital for the food chain. If you don't care, you don't care for yourself. There's only one planet that we can live on!

[PhantomLyric]

@toyotaprius79 What's being wiped out?

[toyotaprius79]

@PhantomLyric Cod, Tuna, Salmon. Well especially cod, it's rare to find cod in fish 'n' chip shops, all they have is trout. End of, advancement in technology and illegal fishing are exploiting more fish then they can reproduce.

[PhantomLyric]

@toyotaprius79 I don't believe the problem is overfishing. I believe the problem is the growing population. The population has doubled in size since the 1950s... DOUBLED... They are predicting in the next 50 years, we'll have 14 billion people on earth. --- The only thing our cutting back will do is slow down extinction. It may become inevitable if we don't reduce our population. 1 child per family, no divorce. The end.

[hastalueguito]

@ErnieCosmo sure, stupid fish who are essential in preventing seas from becoming jellyfish soups, amongst many other things. Apart from the moral issues about everyone of us participating in this massacre of life on our planet, which is the only one we have, by the way...

[biologyprodigy]

Someone call the sea shepherd.

[MZound100]

Stop this,.,.
