"The Hump" Closes, Caught Serving Whale Meat

It's hard to believe that the illegal whale trade is happening in the U.S., but this Santa Monica restaurant's name seems to almost flaunt it.

Recent interest in the trade in whale and dolphin meat is probably entirely due to the success of The Cove, but I'm not complaining. It feels good to see something finally fall on the side of the non-human, even if it's as small as the closing of a restaurant.
