Oily fish ‘can help to fight off asthma’
STUDY Fish with Omega-3
probably saves 70 a year. There’s balances in nature
EATING salmon, tuna and mackerel can cut the risk of asthma by more than half, research claims.
Oily fish, and anchovies, sardines and herring, contain a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids which boost the lungs.
A three-year study of fish processors in South Africa found “a positive correlation between seafood and a lower rate of asthma”.
Co-author Prof Andreas Lopata, from James Cook University, North Queensland, added: “We showed 60% protection if you have a higher level of omega-3.”
Eating fish at least twice weekly for several months also improved respiratory health in moderate-tomild asthma sufferers.
Other health benefits of omega-3s were revealed in a 1970s study of Eskimos. A SHAMELESS hunter was slammed for “plumbing new depths of depravity” after footage showed him shooting a sleeping lion in the back.
Guy Gorney, whose sick profile snap on Facebook shows him posing with a dead big cat, targeted the animal at the Chewore River bed in Zimbabwe.
Footage shows the lion writhing in agony after the 64-year-old’s first shot hits its back. Its pain ends after he kills it with his third shot.
Zimbabwean professional hunter Mark Vallaro can be heard telling Gorney to stop, saying: “OK, OK, don’t do any more.” He then shakes the American’s hand and says: “That, Mr Gorney, is a very nice lion.”
The video sparked outrage on social media with one Twitter user saying: “Big man this Guy Gorney. Sneaking up on sleeping lion and shooting it leading to a painful death.”
Chez Em said he was a “disgusting excuse for a human being”. And Mira Iordanescu added: “Cowardice and sadism go hand in hand.”
Celebs also waded into the row with comic Ricky Gervais branding Gorney a “snivelling sadistic coward” while golfer Ian Poulter said: “How brave you are... How pathetic shooting something that’s sleeping.”
Gorney, a father of four from Manhattan, Illinois, was vice president of an electricity firm and has travelled the world hunting animals including elephants, hippos, antelopes, bears, monkeys and crocodiles.
A picture on his Facebook page showed his trophy room filled with stuffed animals and skins.
As the fury over his cowardly killing of the lion, filmed in 2011, grew he took down posts from public view yesterday – but defiantly kept his profile image.
In a 2015 interview, he showed no remorse for his hunting – boasting he had killed 70 animals. He bragged: “I like pitting myself against these animals. And what greater trophy than an elephant?
“I really like hunting elephants. They’re difficult to track down. They’re incredibly dangerous.
“When I killed that buffalo that had hurt somebody, the people that had benefited from the death cheered. The ‘why’ is just – I call it the adventure of it.”
Gorney also claimed he kills in the name of conservation, adding: “You can say, why’d you shoot a lion? I love WARPED Shameless hunter with dead monkey GUY GORNEY TRIES TO JUSTIFY THE HUNTING OF LIONS IN 2015 INTERVIEW
zebra, so shooting a lion probably saves 70 zebra a year. There’s all these kinds of balances in nature.”
And he claimed animal rights campaigners have targeted him previously, saying: “I have a hard time understanding, if you have a picture of somebody with a deer, nobody seems to care.
“If it’s an elephant, it’s a big problem. If it’s a lion, it’s a huge problem. To me, either way, I’ve stopped a beating heart.”
Teresa Telecky, the vice president of wildlife at Humane Society International, said of the footage: “All trophy hunting is a hideous relic of the past and has no place in a modern society.
“But this latest example of a hunter shooting a lion while it sleeps is really plumbing new depths of depravity.” DISGRACEFUL He takes aim, hits sleeping lion and is congratulated in sick video INSIDE THE MIND OF A SERIAL KILLER Tonight at 10pm
