Let's just hope it doesn't taste good.


Its sad that this was my first thought too, that it would become some 'potent ingredient' in some dish like shark fin or rhino horn.

The last time I was in Hawaii we saw feeding whales as we crossed islands on the ferry. These are massive creatures that deserve our protection.


Not to disagree with you, but most all sea creature populations need protection these days, not just the large species…
