Sushi king pays record price for bluefin tuna

A record $3.1m (£2.4m) has been paid for a giant bluefin tuna at Tokyo’s new fish market, which replaced the world-famous Tsukiji late last year. It was paid by sushi tycoon Kiyoshi Kimura, who runs the popular Sushi Zanmai chain

This looks exactly like the man who would spend over 2 million on a tuna

pacific bluefin tuna is heavily over-fished and considered critically endangered, so remember that the next time you order a tuna roll.

Love, passion and costs. He loves it. He passionately loves it. His passion and love got an equivalent price he designed. Takusan no sonkei.

i bet all them Gloucester fishermen are pissed right now they'd be lucky to get $10, 000 for a catch that big

The buyer is no doubt the owner of a slave labour company he/she can sadly afford to pay this amount for a fish and think of it as a normal purchase i've been to japan I heard and seen the working conditions it's unbelievable

The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’

30 “‘No, father Abraham, ’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

Luke 16:19-31 (King James)

Everyone needs to stop eating it for a while so we can enjoy eating it in the future.

So sad that a beautiful creature was murdered... human beings have no shame.
