From sea to overfished sea…

As if to sum up the violence and avarice that permeates every atom of our dominant culture, GrindTV/Yahoo Sports recently delivered an article entitled: “Angler’s 1,000-pound bluefin tuna worth its weight in sushi.”

From this article, I learned of a “1,000-pound tuna caught recently off Nova Scotia,” which “required only two hours to land,” but was “so massive,” it had to be towed to port, and “lifted onto the dock with the help of a crane.”

Some of what I didn’t learn from the GrindTV article: Tuna are migratory fish that travel many thousands of miles in their lifetimes—swimming more than 100 miles in a day. They can accelerate faster than a Porsche and reach speeds as high as 50 miles per hour.
