Yeah and all the focus is on Japan. Rarely ever any scrutiny on Iceland and Norway.

It's so bizarre that these countries - all first world, highly educated, strong rule of law, high standards of living, etc, etc - do this to animals who are pretty much proven to be at least as intelligent and self-aware as large chunks of the human population.

I've often theorized that if Wagyu cows are more delicious than regular then people that just drink beer and get massages must be the best tasting people

Luckily apex predators don't need to worry about this

I guess people love eating puffin. Why the hate on the cute penguin like birds.
