When a tuna sandwich requires a mortgage.

[nanoboy]

I have thought the same thing for many years since the Monterey Aquarium's tuna exhibit opened my eyes that tuna are wild animals like giraffes, elephants, or tigers, not domesticated food animals like cows or chickens. I think hardly anybody knows what spectacular animals tuna are or thinks of them as anything more than fish in a can or sushi.

We have an attitude where we think of the sea as having an inexhaustible supply of sea food. It also helps that we cannot see marine habitat destruction and we cannot accurately count numbers. So, we will continue to stick our heads in the sand and pretend there is no problem. Do the Japanese care if the fish go extinct, or will they merely find another species to be the new fad?
