Stop Shark Finning

Dear Friend,
I just took action online to help stop the cruel and needless practice of shark finning.
Each year, millions of sharks are hunted, have their fins sliced off, and then are thrown back into the ocean, dead or dying, to satisfy the human appetite for shark fin soup and other dishes made from shark fin. Shark fin soup is sometimes served at Chinese New Year celebrations, weddings, and other events. Shark fin is almost flavorless and may contain high levels of mercury.

This is a practice we can no longer afford. Shark species are endangered and, as apex predators, are vital to marine ecosystems. Please join me in pledging never to consume or serve shark fin. It will only take a minute:

I am not one to stand on a soapbox but this is close to home for me. This is text you will get after I encourage you to sign an anti-shark finning petition. You never know how much signing a petition really helps. But I know it cant hurt, so I did. This is a serious problem. Millions of sharks are harvested every year. Its just another part of how F'n humans are raping the earth and its oceans. There are many sites you can go to find out more information on stopping shark finning. And find out what you can do to help if you want to.

Here are but a few.
