A friend suggested to me tonight that it has to do with race. But I really would prefer not to get into all that here...

Suggesting that there is something to get into, and it's not just a common knee-jerk conclusion of the stupid and uninformed?

That's just really horrible and they seem to be quiet smug about it.

Alex, Andy Fung here. How are you mate? It's been a long time, It has been great to see all your photos and your shift into environmental affairs. You're at the coal-face (so to speak) in Asia. One of the problems with Tuna (and fish all round) is that they aren't cuddly and are seen exclusively as a food-source. The question of race (I'd prefer to see it as Culture) is exceedingly controversial and valid one but also linked deeply with socio-economic conditions. That said Europeans are no angels, after all who controls the Med Tuna trade? Also the seasonal massacre of dwindling song-birds continues apace here and is finally now receiving the attention it deserves. An interesting article with some hopeful tinges below. Hope you're well and still loving HK. We were going to move back... but that's a story for another time. Drop me an email (sunfug@yahoo.com) or find me on Facebook

Cheers

AF
