Fishing nets are estimated to kill more than 300,000 of dolphins, whales and porpoises worldwide each year. This is a serious animal welfare issue. These animals are not only suffering a protracted death but also a horrifically painful and distressing one. Animals are breaking teeth and jaws, severing fins and suffering deep gashes and internal injuries.

If this was occurring on land rather than out of sight, shrouded by the sea, the international community would have taken far stronger and far swifter action to bring an end to this problem.
