Speaking of a thread going sidewards
The thread isn't going sideways, it just explains why certain people collect bags full of Squawfish and Peamouth chub. They either want them to eat or use as bait in crab traps. It's probably better than why certain locals kill a net full of Pink salmon and Chum, but only keep the roe and toss the remainder away to rot. Just because us spoiled westerners only eat prime salmon and halibut doesn't take away from the fact that people from other, poorer countries eat anything and everything available. I'm quite certain that the wealthy Asian people living in Singapore or Hong Kong dine on the finest of everything, just as they do in Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Tokyo, Manila, Seoul or Bangalore. But, the great majority of Asian people in their home countries survive on very little and they make use of any food available. When you are hungry you don't think about the environment. The separation between the wealthy and the poor is far greater in Asian countries than it is in Canada.
I have many Asian friends, both in Thailand and here, and many of my parents close personal friends were second generation Japanese and Chinese. We can't compare second generation Asians in Canada with those who have survived hardships in their own countries and managed to make it to the riches of Canada. I'm sorry if some people take offence with what I say, but I only speak from my own experiences and what I have observed over the past 70 years. I can back up everything I say with photographs and personal experiences. I'm not afraid to discuss hot topics. And, in every topic we all learn something. If we just stick with fishing it quickly becomes boring.
