The Cartel’s Cash Catch | VICE Documentary
There’s a race to save a dozen small cetaceans, the last in the world of their species. They’re caught as bycatch in nets set to trap a fish with a huge demand in China. Can anything be done?
It all begins in Mexico, in the Gulf of California, just 97 miles from the US, where the totoaba is endemic. The demand for its swim bladder is at the…

Human greed. The fk fish swim bladders, people paying insane amounts of money to eat things that probably don't have any nutritional value. Expensive gifts of status.
My opinion is this, a complete misunderstanding and unreasonable action!!!!!! 🙁 when you think about the Italian mafia and drug cartels, it "ONLY" brought much more misfortune than any happiness or satisfaction. if someone only stole food from a supermarket, it would be better for them than mafia activities (not that I would recommend any criminal activity at all). After all, a car can only be like that, it doesn't have to be better. A house or an apartment is the only way to live, and nothing better. but if someone is so organized in his head that he must be at the top of the mafia or in the head of a drug cartel. It is only in the downward position, i.e. one's own death, family members kidnapping their own for ransom, murdering people, eternity lost. Incredible troubles and problems… human greed harms itself. Just notice who was happy or satisfied in the Italian mafia, no one, there were only losses and failures. It is man's problem that he has his own vision. G019
Open your mouth and stfu.
Los documentales son pura politiquería
This dude sounds like a Girl 😂😂😂😂
WHY ARE THEY NOT SHOWING THE CRIMINALS FACE?
They are acting illegally, so expose them for what they are.

Asking Vice to hide your identity is like asking is like asking a vampire not to bite you. I swear they NEVER properly conceal someones identity properly, incredibly reckless.
Get saved now and accept jesus Christ as your lord and Savior. Its never too late. God accepts everyone. He will forgive your sins and not only will heaven be your reward eternal paradise, but your life on earth will be much better. I had a hell experience and the things they do to you are horrific unfathomable fifth realm stuff the human mind can not even thank of. Just the mind games alone they use on you there are worse than any cartel torture video I've ever seen. Please accept JESUS CHRIST as your lord and saviour. God said he created hell for Lucifer and his fallen angels not people but our free will to follow Satan and not accept JESUS puts us there. Please get saved the signs of the times are here. God bless you get saved.
Are they making botas and a belt? With what left of the fish? Just saying
how does the cartel send 12 bladder every week when they have only 6 remaining in the wild wtf
Love that Dr Goodall had a vaquita stuffed animal hanging around in her office! Brilliant 😂
Money talks. 💰
Those same politicians banning it buy it

😮
I can't believe they don't even use the rest of the fish what a waste
Very informative video, glad to see VICE back to it's old self. But did you catch it, there at the end. Dr. Goodall said it, (36:45–37:20) we have to educate everyone about what buying this stuff does to the animals and the world.
Government cant catch these guys but Vice has no trouble finding these bad guys 😂
Get rich and stop trying
Not only are the fishing practices destroying local waters but they are also just wasteful. Throwing away an entire fish for a single organ to be sold. It's disgusting.
How do the Chinese even know to eat it lol.. they will eat anything that wriggles
I’ve been to el golfo de santa clara.. local seafood restaurants, will sell you “endangered” species of seafood, on the low. You literally joke around with them, they laugh and try to act sly about it, that its illegal… then they come back and say if you got the $, they will prepare it for you.
they could just start farming those fish in controlled fish farms but they dont even attempt to that !!! …
I Agree with the fisherman they want to protect the endangerd animals while also making monery , the authoritys should work together with them …
Your not explaining what the bladder is used for and it’s driving me nuts
at the end of the day, money talks.
Vice should've mentioned that Earth League International (run by the super cute Italian guy at 17:00 with all the good info) is an NGO. Check them out and consider supporting them if this work touches you. Jane Goodall is a huge supporter of theirs.
Luis chapparo also talked about how chinese are buying mexicos jelly fish, its crazy
So WHY the Bladder of THIS specific Endangered Species of Fish bruhh??! What's so special about it and what do the Chinese do with it?! Hmmm, lmfaooo, I'm guessing they eat it right?! They probably think it does something "Healthy" for thrmN+!! JUST like Rhino Horns!!?!!! 😮😮😢😢 Shiiiidd SMFH man!! 😂🤣
LMFAOOOO 😂🤣🤣🤣 at 2:57 WHY tf did she say it so fast like that??! HAHA WTH 😂🤣🤣.. Anyone else notice this??! Lmao 😅😅🤣
