Many of you received my email two weeks ago about a request to Gene Kira, (Western Outdoor News, Mexfish.com, co-author of "The Baja Catch") to stop posting pictures of dead billfish hanging from hotel signs. His honest and realistic response was that he has a journalistic duty to post fishing news, good, bad, or otherwise. The photo posted on Mexfish.com (http://mexfish.com/mfn/mfn2007/mfn070827/mfn070827.htm) August 27th showing a 62 pound Blue Marlin, killed and hanging from the sign at Hotel Oasis, Loreto, bothered me so much I felt I had to write to him. Gene agreed to post my concerns over the killing of billfish at the Baja resorts and did so in the Sept. 3rd edition of Mexfish.com (http://mexfish.com/mfn/mfn2007/mfn070903/mfn070903.htm)
Hotel Oasis makes the news again this week with another blue marlin hanging at their "gallows": (http://mexfish.com/mfn/mfn2007/mfn070910/mfn070910.htm).

Please, do what you can to let them know that they will KILL THEIR ONLY LIVELIHOOD if they do not stop killing marlin for a photo shoot. Write to them, and anyone you know that will write to them, and let them know how true big game enthusiasts feel about protecting the resource.
