If only seals could understand neil-liberal individualism. Neil has to be a dick or he can't express his nonexistent personality via mindless consumption and/or integrated meaningless gestures to the contrary.

But then they'll have to replace them more often. Unless this is referring to commercial fishing. My first thought was for people trying to feed their kids, but while I was writing I realized the big fishing companies are way more likely to be close to 100% responsible

It will absolutely cost more to do things responsibly.

For sure, but commercial fisheries can afford it by simply selling their fish at a higher price. The people feeding their family, might not have the kind of resources needed for that to be viable

The people feeding their families have done so without plastic for thousands of years. Even without plastic, they still have all other technological advancements available to them. Yes, it will get harder and it is unfair. But it's entirely possible. And we can also fight that injustice. Tax the rich.

I hope that's not one of those fake animal rescue channels. I've been avoiding this kind of videos ever since.
