Is that to ban those idiots with the strap-on fins who swim about in the sea at skeggy and think they're the dogs danglies?
Where do I sign...

You can pose a ban on it.... but its impossible to enforce....The monitary motivation behind it needs to be removed first!

it does actually taste really nice as a soup, as do sparrows
poor sharks though, they don't bother anyone

Having been well travelled in China i do often wonder if some of there dishes are in name only rather than actually containing what you are led to
believe. Sure is a shame to kill an animal for such a small part of the body but dont a lot of countries make significant use of all parts of the
animals they eat? I was a little surprised to see rows of fishes heads in Chinese restaurants, dismissing it as gross at first until i tried the cheek
meat i rather nice.
Im shocked to read the numbers of sharks killed each year. If they are right i believe it is a good thing to lobby and reduce it.

I have had shark steak which is very nice so i would be surprised if they only used the fin.
Also I believe some of the sharks internal organs are used in herbal remedies but i could be wrong

I must admit that other than possibly being served bits of shark whilst i was in China i wouldnt knowingly go out and buy shark products for myself. I
love watching documentaries about sharks but even then wonder if its totally necessary to subject them to human contact in the interests of
entertainment.

I'd like to start a petition which says
"We the undersigned petition people to pay attention to all the petitions being done at the moment which get totally ignored".
Whilst I dislike shark finning severely (despite being phobic of sharks!!!), is a petition really going to make a difference? I suppose it might show
public support for a ban but practically?!?!?! Whale hunting is banned but it doesn't stop Japan's "research" ships with
built-in canning machines......

I'm all for it, leaves more fish for us!
The only bit which is not good is throwing the carcasses back in, they should be eaten too.

I dare say mankind 'slaughters' and 'mutilates' many times more cod and prawns (for example) every year. Where's their
sensationalist petition?
