Yeah, i read about something similar a few days ago in the local paper about Bluefin tuna, and what really got my blood boiling was that one of the representatives said she would not vote to have Bluefin tuna banned from hunting is because her daughter likes sashimi and she didn't want her daughter to get upset at her for voting to have it taken off the menu...
Needless to say, if i ever found out who that woman was, i'd love to turn her into a plate of sashimi and see how she likes it...
