A 754-pound blue-fin tuna was sold at auction in the Tokyo's fish market, fetching a record 32.49 million yen, that converts to around $396,000. Yosuke Imada, owner of a upscale Kyubei sushi restaurant, will split the fish with a Hong Kong based sushi chain. These tuna are highly prized in Japan and are sought out more often than any other fish in the region but environmental groups say the practice is unethical and the Bluefin tuna are huge, sophisticated animals with well-developed brains and nervous systems. Maybe they too should be placed together with the nonhuman persons to which Dr Jane Lubchenko and her cronies have placed Dolphins?
