fishkill

did you see this in the news???

this is laguna de bay -- our largest lake.


and it's covered with dead fish. gross right?


last friday, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of fish were found floating on the water.

it's apparently a phenomenon that happens regularly, when the lake is so full of pollution and garbage that the oxygen drops and the fish die.

there's some sort of sad poetic justice here...

it's like the lake taking what's rightfully hers, (the fish) and feeding herself with the nutrients that we've been depriving her from.


in the meantime, we go hungry... lest we eat poisonous fish.

scary.
