They cut the fins and sometimes tails off of the sharks while they are Still Alive! And throw them back into the sea!

The diving community has been running a campaign for years. can give you numerous links if you really want to get involved.

A chinese restraunt I use regularly gave up serving shark fin soup a few months ago and was lauded in the diving press for doing so - his takings have soared!

We owe so much to vanity;

We people here on earth.

Although we have the gift to see,

Beyond the obvious, the false.

We care not,

and throw our precious jewel to the breeze.

Perchance one day to pluck it forth.

And then,

What a world we could have.

(Own poem written many years back)

The sharks will have the last laugh because we won't see the fin before it attacks us

Didn't find any sharks in Portland yesterday but lost count of how many fish were swimming around with with hooks and lines in their mouths. All those who want to ban blood sports should put their focus on to fishing!!!

People are pretty cruel. Things like this help make sense of vegetarianism.
