My Story..My Life...

I must say I am very disappointed by the 68:20 ratio of votes to reject the ban on Atlantic Bluefin tuna trade.

And my anger seems to be directed towards Japan, the principal tuna-consuming country who went to great extents to convince other countries to support its opposition of the ban.

First, the atrocities of killing and raping during World War II (and the endless denying of those crimes). Then the usage of a loophole in the law to justify its whaling program, all in the name of research(and yet the sale of whale meat is so blatantly obvious). Now, throw in the bitter battle of the bluefin tuna.

Well done, Japan! I would love to see the expressions of your descendents when the bluefin tuna becomes extinct in the future. Will you play another round of denying or blaming and shaming game again?

Yet, I am ashamed of the Chinese eating shark's fins and regarding it as one of the prized delicacy. When there is a demand, there will always be supply - blame it on globalisation and consumerism. Seeing that sharks will be next on the menu for the UN Widelife meet, let's hope these species will succeed in swimming against the currents.
