Al Gore, the world’s most high profile green campaigner, was at the centre of an embarrassing row yesterday after the serving of a rare fish at his daughter’s Beverly Hills wedding... Just one week after Live Earth... the former vice-president attended a rehearsal dinner for his daughter’s marriage... where a six-course tasting menu included Chilean sea bass - also known as Patagonian toothfish... writing in in the Australian Daily Telegraph, Rebecca Keeble of Humane Society International, a conservation pressure group, complained of the danger to the species from “from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities”... she acidly suggested, “Al Gore could choose something else to eat”. Her attack on the former vice-president, and his implied hypocrisy, were rapidly picked up by bloggers around the world... But the fish enjoyed by the Gores were not endangered or illegally caught... The Gores’ spokesman, Kalee Kreider... said... “The really important thing is that people become more aware of this issue.”
Who cares about some high-society Rat wedding? Why even post this nonsense?
