<http://www.earthtrust.org> The international conservation
organization Earthtrust in Hawaii has now established a webpage
devoted to giving up-to-date information about the
Clinton/Gore-backed "Dolphin Death Bill" which has now passed
through the House and is being considered in the Senate. The bill
basically legalizes massive killing of dolphins in the tuna
fishery, and removes any legal basis for dolphin-safe labeling or
other meaningful monitoring of the fishery. The new legislation
would set an annual dolphin-kill quota of 5,000 - a number that
can (and almost certainly will) be killed in one net set by one
tuna boat in one hour. Also, with a quota in place and no
realistic way to monitor the kill it is basically open season
again on the dolphins.
