Here’s something that will make you give up ur shark’s fin soup. If it’s placed right in front of you during the traditional Chinese wedding dinners, i doubt you will have the appetite to savour it. Instead of the bad rep that most sharks carry ” man-eating sharks”, it’s man who’s the predator now. Man eating sharks.

there’s a better video here about shark finning featuring the song “I’ll Stand By you” by The Pretenders, but i wasn’t able to embed it here…

8000 sharks were killed every hour around the world. 73 million sharks are killed every year just for their fins. Sharks kill fewer than 20 people a year. So tell me, which species is more scary? As i’ve said before, whatever we harm we do, it comes back three folds. It’s like natural karma. Never limped an animal and throw it back like it’s trash

Sharks are at the top of the food chain. Lesser sharks means more carnivorous fish like groupers which would eat more plant-eating fish like parrotfishs. Lesser parrotfish means lesser cleaners to clean up the algae and thus the algae proliferated and destroy the reef and corals. Without reefs and corals to protect the shorelines against waves, storms, humans suffers. End of story.

Yao Ming has pledge to give up sharks fin soup, have you?
