grayhair Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Dolphins are the problem, If you are a U.S. supplier/fisherman the government will sue you out of business. Foreigners don't have to worry so much since compliance is voluntary. Google: dolphin safe tuna to read about it.Easy fix - don't be a U.S. company 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42810-sorry-charlie-we-don%E2%80%99t-have-any-american-owned-tuna/#findComment-313021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
