I think this happened back in 2010. Shark finning is so barbaric. Those responsible should be shot IMO.

Sadistic bastards. And the idiots who eat that shit thinking it will give them superpowers.

Dan any nutritionist will tell you that it in fact does give you super powers.

Looks like some progress is being made but very slow.

joe acevedos Banana Dick Soup will give you a bigger boner and it doesnt require killing a shark. ass you need is the head of a sheephead, a lobster, a handful of scallops, red wine, and some mustard. maybe he will post the recipe and people will stop killing sharks for thier fins.

i have no problem with people killing sharks, as long as they eat the whole fish. but finning is a massive waste and theres got to be a reasonable way to stop it.

I think they eat the whole thing. I've seen that in other videos.

Maybe it is shocking to some of us, but it is a cultural thing. If they eat the whole fish, I really don't think is THAT bad.

In India they will think the same about us eating beef.

Just my opinion.

PS: I don't agree with finning.

i think a important question to ask is , was it dead first (brought up dead in nets , found dead ,or near dead on the beach) and the fins were kept , or was it finned alive and thrown back. there is always more to the story

This is the description of the video. Yeah, take it for what its worth but finning is not a good practice.

A poor whale shark had its fins cut off while still alive, then left to die slowly. Some divers tow it to shore so that it could die faster. This Chinese man recorded it and in the end said that he will never eat shark fin soup again. Bravo. Hope this will educate all the Chinese who still eat shark fin soup. When the buying stop, the killing can too.
