Courier mail responsible journalism???????????

From my favorite journo in todays courier.

ONE in every six species related to characters in the smash hit kids' movie Finding Nemo is threatened with extinction.

Scientists analysed risks faced by Nemo, the charismatic clownfish, and more than 1500 other species related to characters in the 2003 animation.

International Union for Conservation of Nature and Canada's Simon Fraser University scientists, led by Loren McClenachan, found that hunting and fishing posed the greatest threat to their survival.

"Putting Nemo in office aquariums, making soup out of Anchor the shark's fins and selling Sheldon the seahorse as curios has taken a toll," Dr McClenachan said.

"Our research highlights how very little we know about many of these animals.

"It's unthinkable that the characters in Finding Nemo could become extinct, but this is the reality unless we pay more attention to the diversity of marine life."

Robyn Ironside is my favourite and loves to sink the boot in to the Coppers once in a while.

There is a whole Facebook page devoted to The Courier Mail 'Why so anti Police' if people are interested in some of the stories they have written.

What can you say :dry: the same old radical green propaganda designed to demonise fishing. Simlpy a more subtle version of of the grubby group that brought you your mommy and daddy are murderers because they fish, and lets call fish sea kittens to make them seem more cute and cuddly.

Unfortunately these groups know how to get into the heads of the clueless very well.
