Cruelty to Fish

I thought I had heard it all regarding humans’ inhumanity and arrogance toward other animals, but chef Nobu Matsuhisa takes the prize: slicing a live fish, putting it back together and serving it while the fish, on the platter, is still gasping for air (“A Taste for Adventures in Dining,” by S. Irene Virbila, Jan. 2).

When will we decide we do not have the right to commit any acts of cruelty against all animals, nonhuman and human? We can start by never going to one of Matsuhisa’s restaurants.
