*sigh*

It does indeed feel like the end of the line. Today the collection of country representatives (ha ha) at CITES voted not to protect Atlantic Bluefin tuna. The trade in the fish that we once so loved in our tuna salad will continue (tinned tuna these days is normally skipjack).

Well, for now anyway. Soon they will fish the last one and our children will be making jokes about tuna, not dodos.

Very sad and I wonder what their thought processes are as they make these decisions. CFT
