I've always wondered why China and many Asian nations have such cold disregard to animals and especially the ocean's bounty. Considering how importing fishing is to many of their survival.

Iceland has a university specifically for sustaining our fishing and whaling stocks, and has since the 1950's had strict quotas to protect our stocks, including a fish war with Britain in the 70s when we pushed our maritime boundary to 250km.

Is it cultural, I mean the Japanese are quite brutal when it comes to taking from the sea as much as they can with little regard for the future stocks, and becomes infuriated and nationalistic when anyone attempts to prod them into conservation.
