Be a hero and take shark fin off the table


Each dinner table of 10 eating shark fin soup equals to one dead shark.

While movies may dramatise rare shark attacks on humans, the truth is that humans are attacking sharks – on an industrial scale.

Humans kill over 100 million sharks annually, mainly for their priced fins, often in a most cruel way. As the fins are worth much more than shark meat, fishermen usually just cut the fins off live sharks and then throw them back into the sea rather than ferrying the whole fish back.
