It would have been nice had people not caught it in the first place (I only catch fish I plan to eat... I need to eat, I don't need to harrass and torture wildlife for "fun"), but it's better than nothing.

Have you read the book 7 Years in Tibet? It outlines a bit of Tibet's history, especially with regard to the Tibetan Dalai Lama. It's very sad.
No, I haven't read that, but I have heard bits of the history... I agree.
