In places where there are rules and order, and these things are valued, only important people are allowed to capture Sharpedo.

Even when captured, Sharpedo are treated with care, brought back to land, their fins cut and sold at a high price, and every part of the fish is eaten.

Even the bones are treated carefully, respectfully, and with love.

In such places, the lives of many Sharpedo are not lost unnecessarily, and valuable things are treated as valuable.

In the current capitalist world, which lacks rules and order, people on massive ships capture more Sharpedo than needed, cutting off their fins and throwing them back into the sea while still alive.

The Joint Legislative Committee on Government Operations — or Gov Ops for short — is empowered to seize “any document or system of record” from anyone who works in or with state and local government during its investigations. The rule applies to contractors, subcontractors, and any other non-state entity…

Gov Ops staff will be authorized to enter “any building or facility” owned or leased by a state or non-state entity without a judicial warrant. This includes the private residences of subcontractors and contractors who run businesses out of their homes…

Alarmingly, public employees under investigation will be required to keep all communication and requests “confidential.” They cannot alert their supervisor of the investigation nor consult with legal counsel.
