HONG KONG (Reuters) - Protesters wearing shark costumes with the fins cut off surrounded a famous restaurant beside the Hong Kong harbour on Saturday, to demand it halt sales of shark fins, especially from threatened species, such as the whale shark.
Demonstrators shouted and waved placards as they approached the Chinese territory's Maxims Palace, half-owned by a unit of conglomerate Jardine Matheson Group and filled with people eating dim sum, but police kept them out.
