Alsof
dit alles niet genoeg is om schijtziek van te worden, hebben een aantal schoften bedacht om krill te verwerken in voedingsolie voor de
mens, terwijl walvissen en pinguïns afhankelijk zijn van deze
minuscuul kleine zeedieren...... Niet dat de mens deze nodig heeft,
er zijn meer dan voldoende alternatieven te vinden voor omega 3, waarvan 'de gezonde werking' trouwens zwaar ter discussie
staat.......
Het Britse levensmiddelenketen Holland &
Barrett heeft de varianten voor de olie van krill NB naast de
alternatieven staan, alternatieven die niet ten koste gaan van andere levensvormen op onze kleine aarde.........
Het
spul vindt gretig aftrek, dus reken maar dat binnenkort ook de
Nederlandse kruideniersketens deze olie gaat verkopen (wellicht staan deze daar al, geen idee)...... In de
Noordelijke Atlantische oceaan is de krill al op haar retour, dit
door menselijk handelen (o.a. de opwarming van de aarde).....
Nogmaals:
de mens is ziek, doodziek en sleept alles en ieder dier mee de
afgrond in.......
Stop het gebruik van visolie of krillolie, of andere producten met omega 3, er zijn alternatieven te over!

Lees het
volgende artikel van Greenpeace GB ('UK'), tevens een petitie die wij helaas niet kunnen
tekenen (terwijl de visolie van Holland & Barrett ook hier, weliswaar via het internet, verkocht wordt... Ik wilde een grote link laten staan voor Britten die hier wonen, of voor jouw Britse vrienden/kennissen, maar Holland & Barrett heeft na fikse ophef in GB laten weten te stoppen met de verkoop van deze olie!):
Holland
& Barrett v the Antarctic
In
the Antarctic, all life, from the giant blue whale to a newborn
penguin, depend on one tiny creature: krill. These
quirky, shrimp-like crustaceans are one of the Antarctic's most
important species. Without krill, most life forms in the Antarctic
would vanish.
But right now, Antarctic krill is being sucked out of the Antarctic Ocean, pulped into oil, and sold as a health supplement on UK shelves.This rapidly growing, multi-million dollar industry is threatening to upset the delicate balance of the Antarctic ecosystem.
The UK is the fourth largest krill oil market globally. Holland & Barrett are one of the biggest sellers of krill oil products, even stocking their own krill brand.
Holland & Barrett has the power to influence the krill industry to stop fishing in areas that need to be protected. But they'll only do it if they have thousands of people call on them to stand up and defend the Antarctic.
Email Holland & Barrett's CEO and tell him to make sure the products on their shelves aren't putting sensitive Antarctic waters at risk.

Holland
& Barrett cares deeply about their public image. They've
spent a lot of time and money promoting themselves as a healthy and
planet-loving company. But by selling krill products sourced from
delicate parts of the Antarctic, Holland & Barrett are
undermining their reputation as an environmentally friendly
brand.
Our recent report reveals that the krill industry is already fishing right next to penguin colonies and whale feeding grounds - the same areas scientists and governments say we need to protect [1]. Animals in the Antarctic are already facing pressures from a changing climate. The last thing they need is additional strains on their food supply.
Holland & Barrett can influence their suppliers to stop fishing in areas that need to be protected. With their help, the krill industry will hear loud and clear that the Antarctic waters are ours to protect - not theirs to exploit.
We've written an email for you that lays out what Holland & Barrett can do to protect the Antarctic. You can add in your own words if you like, or just fill in your details and press send.

In
the past, Holland & Barrett has taken action to protect our
oceans. They were even the first major UK retailer to ditch plastic
bags [2]. But, when it comes to protecting the Antarctic Ocean,
Holland & Barrett are seriously lagging behind.
The bottom line is: no retailers should be selling products which could jeopardise an entire ecosystem. By using their direct links with the krill fishing industry, Holland & Barrett can help protect this fragile place.

When
it comes to our oceans, we know we can make a difference. Thousands
of people like you took action against the biggest canned tuna
company in the world, and together we pushed them to end their
destructive fishing practices. This was a game-changer for our oceans
and is exactly what we need to do again. Will
you help make sure Holland & Barrett play their part to protect
the Antarctic?
Thanks for all that you do,

PS: Although krill oil is high in omega-3 fatty acids, there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan alternatives to krill. Holland & Barrett even sells them right next to their Antarctic krill oil products.
