Federal prosecutors have filed a criminal complaint accusing a Japanese restaurant in Santa Monica and its chef of serving whale meat, a violation of the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. The restaurant was serving endangered Sei whale as sushi.

It's terrible that this restaurant was serving whale illegally, but it is great that it was discovered.  The Sei whale is an endangered species, the japanese restaurant should be charged.
