That's almost 2 million dollars, and the high price will only hasten the extinction of these majestic animals.

THROW IT BACK!

Moving this video to chingalera's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I wonder if there is a word in Japanese or Chinese for sustainability.

I read an article about these super high priced tuna and apparently the tuna will bring in about $50,000 for the restaurant, the reason they pay so much is to make a big show of buying the largest tuna at the beginning of the season as publicity and to show that their shop has the best of the best.

This is a once a year thing and isn't indicative of the general price that is paid for tuna.

Gotta give it up to the proud originators-If they can afford to pay that much for a fish, then the whole country must be whack, eh? Common sense would dictate an alternative pissing contest but hey, it's a big fish innit??
