Cove Filmmakers Expose L.A. Restaurant Serving Whale Sushi

woooooooow r u kidding me? i mean whale meat? we got chicken, beef, pork, fish and u wanna eat whale meat? lmao people r pushin it

I eat meat, but I still think it is wrong to eat animals. I mean by our own rules it would be ok for aliens to eat us just because we are dumber than them. It actually is wrong to eat anything living including plants, fungus or anything like that. Though fruits and stuff like that can be consuming with out really killing the whole plant....real solution would be to eat 100% synthetic food, which is not possible yet to my knowledge. It would actually probably help many health problems too because it would be created specifically for humans thus if eaten in exact quantities should lead to perfect health.....

Hm personally i'd like to know what fillet of human tastes like...a nice thigh steak or maybe some flanks.... preferably a specimen that's lived a rather sedentary life style for a few years feeding off of lots of different potato chips for round a bout grain consumption but certainly not a fatty filled specimen. maybe a former athlete now turned couch potato in recent years.

I think the most desirable flesh is a well balanced male peck/breast...those perfect little beef patties right off the ribs just sitting there waiting to be sizzled with a little pepper mmmmmmmmm

I personally would like to try some of the whale sushi. I read the article in Santa Monica's newspaper...both the whale and the horse entree came at an $85 price tag...each!

I have had horse meat while in Japan. Between the slurps of whiskey and puffs of cigarettes, it was pretty delicious.

Wow whale sushi, that sounds good . I better get some before it is too late!

the open oceans are vast deserts. there is little life far from the continental shelves where upwelling brings the nutrients for life. algae blooms occur in limited places and the great travelers that take advantage of them are rare. there is less life in the oceans than you would guess.
where i live in santa barbara, the island channel, once teeming with cold and warm water fish the population is reduced to 3%. there was a large fishing industry here and the japanese market was flooded with urchin and abalone. truck loads of shrimp were leaving for las vegas constantly. those days are gone.
when i was a kid, a dead whale washed up on shore. it's back was sliced up by large propeller blades. the great animal was obviously rubbing up to the ship with affection when it encountered the blades.
it took an ice age for the whale to rot away.

eating whales/dolphins is different than eating a pig or a cow.

BUT WHY NAPOLEON THAT OFFENDS MY LIBERAL SENSIBILITIES!

Well, moron, it's because dolphins and whales are at the top of their food chain, and are obviously not meant to be consumed by anything else. levels of mercury and other minerals and chemicals become more concentrated the higher you go up the food chain. this is called biological magnification.

anything that predates on other animals and is large enough wouldn't think twice about eating a cow, the same way a dolphin wouldn't think twice about eating a fish. this is because those things are safe and logical for them to eat.

It's not even really legal to trade in that stuff IN Japan. There aren't enough whales left to waste them like this. Apart from the fact that they're massive blubbery, fatty beasts that are renowned for tasting like crap. The whole point of this sort of sushi preparation is that the marinade is all the taste. Those tools could prepare dog turd instead of whale an the patrons would be none-the-wiser. ...then we'd ALL be better off.

Wow. That cannot taste good

i hope that the owner of the sushi store gets what he deserves.

I'd like to know who else ordered the whale and horse (ya - don't forget the horse - remember Trigger? Black Beauty?) I'm guessing someone like Tarantino - he probably used that to impress his friends

whales, tuna, cows, pigs, birds - DON'T EAT ANIMALS and you won't mistakenly eat an endangered, epic, species when you think you are eating a separate animal that we should not be eating.

i have a rule if it can count then don't eat it. I could never hurt anything that knows math.
Wait a minute I think I'm getting whales confused with dolphins..

IF this was copacetic to the responsibility we have on this earth....they wouldn't have lied about...not down with this.

Man.. cant compare whale meat to tuna or porc meat!! Whales are endangered species because of our excessive hunting in the past. It is just wrong to eat whales, like it would be wrong eating polar bears while there is plenty of salmon, porcs and tunas around to eat!

For the people that say who cares if they disappear.. woaw great thinking! if you only knew how frigile an ecosystem is.. the disapearance of one species can have a big impact on many things, even on our survival.

This was the finest sushi restaurant in Los Angeles and I went often. I had NO idea they were serving illegal meat and now I feel nothing but shame and guilt for being such a loyal patron to this restaurant.

damn, i wish someplace would serve that in new york, i'd LOVE to try that!

Fine em and jail em! maximum penalty! show the US has NO tolerance for this.

Was it labeled as whale on the menu? Were they falsely advertising as some other form of seafood? Did they specify what was in it at all? Because if it was false advertising that could have caused unexpected health problems with some of their customers. Also I wonder if there are different issues with serving sea-mammal raw as opposed to fish, and if so did the chef have other illegal experience with it? If not did they know how to serve it safely? There are so many frightening problems with this situation.

ewwww it looks all bloody!

ok mods, can we take this out of movies...honestly

How is eating whale meat bad but tuna or salmon or cow or pig is OK??? Hypocrites!!!! Be a true animal lover and leave them alone.
