The Atlantic mackerel catch limit has been reduced 25%. Since the fish stock is at quite a low level, I think it is nuts to allow people to catch any of them.

US targeted 24 specific men in Pakistan with multiple drone bombings each. The bombings killed only 6 of them, but killed 868 other people including about 140 children.
