Hug a shark, skip the fins

Lots of love: Aquaria’s blue shark mascot chipped in with the hugging as well.

THE thought of hugging a predator is enough to give anyone the chills but the volunteers in shark costumes at The Square in Publika recently were spreading warmth by giving out hugs.

The “I’m Finished With Fins” event was designed to encourage the public to say “no” to shark’s fin soup and save the declining shark population.
