Reply to comment by New-Work-139 in Whole Foods pulls Maine lobster from its shelves by feathered-quill

Innocent until proven guilty. And right now, zero research has proven the lobster industry is guilty of the crime of killing right whales. Period. You don't punish someone for things you haven't shown are true, but simply because they won't comply with the rules you made up in the total absence of any evidence they would correct a problem that is occurring somewhere else.

The lobstermen refused to put stripes on their lines so that it would be proved who was killing the whales.

It's easy to say there is no evidence if you refuse to allow an investigation.

Much like Gun or MJ research. If you outlaw it and refuse to cooperate... then you will never see a study that disagrees with you.
