Oh god here we go again they will stop at nothing.

in fact, I have done my own study and found that they have horns on their heads which leads me to believe that they could be unicorns, rhinocerous, or possibly goats.

But by that logic, I know of yet one other species that has horns. ANd that is Satan himself. Many a day I have cursed the white marlin/roundscaled whosits, or whatever they may be. THey have proven at times to be the bane of my existence and the root of all aquatic evil. In fact, I put to you the fishing community that satan has shed his serpentine image of the past and is now Satanicus Roundscaleous albidus tetcrapturus. The White Marlin.

I'm no icth...er, itch....uh, icky.... oh, you know, fish scientist. But, isn't this old news and isn't a Roundscale Spearfish and a Hatchet Marlin the same thing?

Looks to me like another lazy reporter copying a press release from PETA without doing their fact checking.

Similar data were collected by observers on long-liners in Venezuela

Glad they are addressing the REAL problem here
