By 1993, the number killed had been reduced to 3,716. This represents a 97 percent reduction from the 1990 numbers. These reductions helped bring about an end to the U.S. embargo in April of this year, but not to the problems for Mexican tuna fishermen. In April of this year, Judge Henderson, ten years after imposing the embargo, ruled with the environmental organizations. That lack of label is absolutely unfair competition and it is not free trade.
Environmentalists dismiss such talk.
Earth Island already has agreements with US Tuna processors, grocery stores, and restaurants. Earth Island Institute will run ads in the New York Times and the Washington Post. If we have to, we'll start the whole thing again, having kids marching on the streets. We have done it before and we'll do it again. It's not that hard.
