Tartarughe nel menu, orrore a Toronto

tartarughe menu torontoAbbiamo visto in questi anni tutti gli orrori possibili in alcuni ristoranti che definire “caratteristici” sarebbe un eufemismo. Pinne di squalo, coccodrilli e scarafaggi serviti nel piatto come se fossero bistecche. Ma al peggio non c’è mai fine e così oggi scopriamo che un ristorante di Toronto, in Canada, offre nel proprio menu nientemeno che delle tartarughe. E non soltanto tartarughe comuni (che già di per sé sarebbe uno scandalo) ma una specie in via d’estinzione.

La scoperta è stata fatta la settimana scorsa quando un controllo sanitario ha portato alla luce le carcasse di 31 Apalone spinifera, o tartarughe dal guscio molle spinosa, contenute nel congelatore del ristorante. Questa specie, che da noi farebbe rabbrividire al solo pensiero di addentarla, era il pezzo forte di una zuppa che veniva venduta a peso d’oro. Il tutto agendo nella massima illegalità dato che in Canada esistono meno di un migliaio di esemplari di questo animale e quindi nel Paese è considerato in via di estinzione, anche se a livello mondiale è ancora a rischio minimo.

A venderlo, era facile immaginarlo, non era una trattoria locale che cucinava prodotti tipici, ma come spesso accade in questi casi era un ristorante cinese. Come spiega Peter Paul Van Dijk del Conservation International, intervistato da Star:

Il gusto per la tartaruga ha spinto molte delle popolazioni delle tartarughe d’acqua dolce in Asia vicino allo zero. Solo nell’ultimo decennio le tartarughe del Nord America come l’Apalone spinifera sono state sfruttate per riempire questa domanda. È una prelibatezza che si considera abbia benefici dei farmaci, tipo faccia avere una vita sana. Si tratta di un fattore importante nel declino di alcune specie.

Ancora una volta quindi l’invenzione di una proprietà di un animale ne mette a rischio la sopravvivenza. Il proprietario del ristorante è stato immediatamente incriminato, con l’aggravante di aver sfruttato una specie in via d’estinzione, ed ora sarà condannato a pagare una multa di cinquemila dollari per ogni violazione contestata.

  3. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  12. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
