The Whales Have Been Saved!!!

"The Hump restaurant in Santa Monica and chef Kiyoshiro Yamamoto face charges over "the illegal sale of a marine mammal product" after the Oscar-winning documentary makers of The Cove filmed them serving sei whale sushi."  
                                                 - ABC News

The director of "The Cove" launched a "commando" style mission over a few months to unveil that this restaurant was selling endangered whale meat.  Now that it has been proven, the chef and owners are facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, and closed their restaurant by themselves as a method of "self-punishment".

If you haven't seen "The Cove" yet, it is a really great film that will emotionally attach you to dolphins while informing you on "what is really going on..."
