Sakari Posted January 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Alarming sight: thousands of shark fins drying on Hong Kong rooftop By: Pete Thomas, GrindTV.com The number of shark fins set out to dry like the morning laundry on a Hong Kong factory building rooftop is staggering. To look at the accompanying images and video, revealing perhaps 10,000 fins, and to grasp that sharks are being slaughtered at a furious pace so their fins can be used to make soup, one cannot help but wonder how many years will pass before at least some shark species are banished to extinction.....................................

Simbi Laveau Posted January 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2013 There's a huge movement to stop shark finning. You see how much they are paying attention . It's not us who need to be afraid of sharks ,its the other way around . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah_444 Posted January 6, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) But scientists estimate that up to 70 million sharks are killed each year, solely for their fins. Another example of such a vile waste of life. Edited January 6, 2013 by sarah_444 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted January 6, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2013 It reminds me of the stories about the buffalo. Human stupidity and greed seem to be the only truly unchanging things in creation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
