Antarctic penguins losing to climate change through 80% krill decline

[Nikolas Haass <>]

Ian,

Are you kidding? Are you trying to say that predators reduce their food by 
eating it? That seems to be very naive. I believe that it is dangerous to post 
this kind of un-founded statements in public. There may be people out there who 
believe it!
You still haven't told us which species of "pelagic sea birds" are out-competed 
by which which species "whales" in your observation. You still haven't provided 
us with numbers/facts.

My point is you can't have your Krill and eat it too.
