so sad. but it seems like simple measures could make such a difference. how does one change the behavior of fishermen to reduce the suffering? new laws, but will we ever be organized enough to do so?

Not sure what happened there; perhaps the submitter got confused with a different article. We've taken 1970 out of the title.

And I don't think "vegan" was in common use in 1970 either.

Coined in 1944. Not sure about widespread usage.
