Save the sharks


Things are still buzzing around with Hayden Panettiere and her mission to solve the dolphins. I thought it was great for her to be doing that. Let us not forget though that the sharks are of equal importance as the dolphins. Thousands and thousands of sharks are killed each year just to supply the demand for shark's fin.
Shark's fin soup... I used to always look forward to having this delicacy when I was a whole lot younger. I am very glad to be able to say that I no longer take it, I have stopped for quite a while now. It has been years since I last had it and I don't plan on taking it in the future. I am dead serious about this.

The reason as to why I stopped consuming SFS is because the practice of 'finning' of sharks to make this particular soup is really shocking. Pictures are worth a thousand words so here are some pictures.



1. Sharks are killed, 2. Fins are taken out of them, 3. Sharks (dead) are thrown into the sea

REMEMBER: When the buying stops, the killing does too
