普利茅斯海鮮節(jié)，被吃掉的藍(lán)鯊引熱議

A blue shark was 'paraded' through the crowds at Plymouth Seafood Festival before being cooked and eaten as part of a demonstration in scenes that have sparked outrage and condemnation from the public and leading conservation charities.

在普利茅斯海鮮節(jié)上，作為現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演的一部分，一條藍(lán)鯊在人群中“游行”，然后被烹調(diào)食用，這引起了公眾和主要保護(hù)慈善機(jī)構(gòu)的憤怒和譴責(zé)。

A photograph of the shocking incident - which happened as the city celebrated Plymouth Sound becoming a National Marine Park - was then posted on the city tourist board Visit Plymouth's official Instagram page. It has now been deleted.

這一令人震驚的事件，發(fā)生在普利茅斯市慶祝普利茅斯之聲成為國(guó)家海洋公園之際，一張照片隨后被張貼在市旅游局訪問(wèn)普利茅斯的官方Instagram頁(yè)面上?，F(xiàn)在已被刪除。

Blue sharks are listed as near-threatened globally and, although there are no limits on catches in UK waters, there have been calls to better protect them.

藍(lán)鯊在全球范圍內(nèi)被列為瀕臨威脅的物種，盡管英國(guó)水域的捕獲量沒(méi)有限制，但有關(guān)組織呼吁更好地保護(hù)它們。

A spokesperson said they did not condone what had happened.

一位發(fā)言人稱，他們不寬恕所發(fā)生的一切。

They said: "Unfortunately during this year’s Seafood Festival a shark was inadvertently caught as a by-catch by a local fisherman on one of their regular commercial fishing activities and was then brought to the ‘catch of the day’ session on the main stage of the Seafood Festival.

他們說(shuō):“非常不幸，在今年的海鮮節(jié)期間，一條鯊魚(yú)在當(dāng)?shù)貪O民的一次常規(guī)商業(yè)捕魚(yú)活動(dòng)中被意外捕獲，隨后被帶到海鮮節(jié)的主要環(huán)節(jié)‘每日捕撈’環(huán)節(jié)。”

"We and our partners are committed to protecting our marine environment and sustainable fishing, especially around endangered species such as sharks, and we do not condone what happened and we want to make sure this does not happen again in future events.

“我們和我們的合作伙伴致力于保護(hù)我們的海洋環(huán)境和可持續(xù)捕撈，特別是保護(hù)鯊魚(yú)等瀕危物種，我們不會(huì)寬恕已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情，我們希望確保今后不會(huì)再發(fā)生類(lèi)似事件。”
