Trendy restaurant apologizes for serving whale meat
More here: Trendy restaurant apologizes for serving whale meat - CNN.comA trendy California sushi restaurant charged by federal authorities with serving whale meat offered an apology Monday, saying it "ignored its responsibilities" to endangered species. Prosecutors charged Typhoon Restaurant Inc., the parent company of Santa Monica's The Hump, and chef Kiyoshiro Yamamoto, 45, with the illegal sale of a marine mammal product for an unauthorized purpose.
Although it is considered a delicacy in Japan and some other countries, meat from whales -- an endangered species -- is illegal to consume in the United States.

Seems odd to make it a crime to serve it.
We don't hunt it, but I see no reason not to eat it if it is hunted within the laws that govern such things.I'm your huckleberry...

Why is that? New York is currently looking at legislation to make it illegal to put salt in food. Welcome to national health care.
