Everybody says its OK
But thanks to everybody else having a lot of good lawyers, the commercial fishermen in the Gulf are set to have the liability for any crap in the seafood they catch fall solely upon them.
The US government, and even President Obama himself, have said that Gulf seafood is safe to eat in the wake of the massive BP oil spill.If God had meant fishermen to be free of liability he would have given them a slew of high powered attorneys.
But an admission from the federal government that it hasn't been testing Gulf seafood for toxic heavy metals, and news that fishermen are being forced to sign waivers making them liable for toxins in their catch, suggest not everyone is convinced of the safety of Gulf seafood.
Louisiana fishermen's activist Kindra Arnesen says dock owners are asking fishermen to sign waivers that put the full responsibility for toxins found in the catch on the fishermen themselves.
