Again, the real problem is the consumer

This article grabbed my attention because it is so similar to several other similar themed news, in which animals are being slaughtered and endangered simply because some of their body parts are considered valuable.  To the list of tiger teeth, bear bile, rhino horn, elephant or walrus tusk, shark fin, and beluga caviar (as mere examples of which there are unfortunately hundreds more) -- fish bladders (from the endangered totoaba). 

Supposedly they taste good.

That's not a good excuse for slaughtering them. Bluefin tuna taste good too, and look what we're doing to them.


'It's aquatic cocaine': Mexican smugglers are now selling FISH BLADDERS for thousands of dollars

A Totoaba fish bladder sells between $7,000 and $14,000 - and soup containing the organ may go for $25,000 in China."
...
"According to the Smithsonian Institution's website, one totoaba bladder can attract a $5,000 payoff in the United States, and more than $10,000 in Asia."

So, the poachers slaughtering the totoaba are just serving the market.  The problem is the market.  How do we stop that?

Here's what they're supposed to look like - in the water, alive.
