[DRAFT] Crustaceans Aren't What They're Cracked Up To Be?

Postby Lumio Magika » Wed May 05, 2021 12:07 pm

The Talking Point-

While attending the grand opening of a high-end crustacean-based restaurant in downtown @@CAPITAL@@, you are greeted by a slew of tastes, smells, and a horde of angry environmentalists.

[Validity:] Invalid for nations without private industry, unsure of the rest.

[Option One]: “This has gone on for too long!” screams protest rallier and crustacean enthusiast @@RANDOMNAME@@, wildly swinging a plastic crab leg like a scepter. “The population of our crabby friends in @@NAME@@ is plummeting, all because of fancy-schmancy restaurants like these and their fleets of fishing boats! Do our crustaceans a favor, and tell these crab-obsessed nuts to scuttle off!”

[Fallout One]: @@NAME@@’s ocean floor is notorious for its vast deposits of unused crabbing hardware.

[Option Two]: “ Is that really necessary?” mumbles sailor @@RANDOMNAME@@, behind a mouthful of shrimp. “@@DEMONYM@@ crustaceans have survived for millennia, in some form or another. How will a little bit of fishing harm them? If anything, we need more fishing, not less! These shrimp are so delicious!” Anything else @@HE@@ says is interrupted as a towering platter of crab legs is placed before @@HIM@@.

[Fallout Two]: Serving size is a foreign concept in @@DEMONYM@@ seafood restaurants.

[Option Three]: “What we need,” comments your secretary as he steals a prawn from your plate. “ Is more government regulations on fishing. We shorten the legal fishing season and place heavy restrictions on the size and load capacity of fishing boats, and our delicious crabby delights will be safer than ever. Win-win!”

[Option Three Fallout]: The Krill Canoe is the largest fishing boat in @@NATION@@.

While you approach the subject from the angle of crustaceans, the core of the issue comes down to overfishing, which we already have an issue for, namely #591 "Bait and Switch". I don't think the switch to crustaceans is enough to distinguish the issue draft from overfishing salmon.

Could you perhaps think of a different issue or dilemma about the consumption of crustaceans? Something that is also tied to overfishing, but approaches the subject from a different angle that would distinguish itself more from existing issues like #591?
