I... wow, really? I certainly don't condone such a waste, but this is peanuts compared to what happens in fisheries. Let us look at trawling. 27 million tonnes of bycatch is reported yearly (note: this is just what's reported...). big-ass number I know: that's just short of 74000 tonnes a DAY (about 10,200 full grown male elephants).

...I'll stop here before I get into too much of a rant. I just wanted to put things into perspective.
