PETA Interview: Dan Rather Reports on Shark Finning

[LauVeg87]

This is sick... Can't people see what they are doing just to get some "pleasure and benefits"? I place those words between apostrophes because they are supposedly aphrodisiacs, but studies have revealed that is actually not true...

[HippieGirlClaire]

Disgusting. It creeps me out how many (not all) Chinese people will eat anything.

[PolakBear]

Shark fin soupis SOOOO good

[HippieGirlClaire]

@PolakBear whats ''soupis?''. Fucking illiterate idiot.

[vibshund]

dansk. haj-finne-suppe, skulle være en delikatesse-suppe---- men jeg kalder den for rædsels-suppe, og i spanien gør de det, på grankanaie--- med turister. dem der udfører dette, skulle selv have skåret en finger af, og smides over bord, nemasis, modbydeligt ondskabsfuldt gjordt, hajer er liv- og føgler smerte, håber at vi alle kan hjælpe med underskrifter for at stoppe der. :-((((((((((

[PlantBasedGuy]

So sad.

[Gingerspwnnoobs]

Can anyone tell me what they actually do with the fins?

[AbrahamCollins]

@Gingerspwnnoobs The Chinese make them into a soup. Very expensive (and tasteless) soup.

[SharksRule567]

@Gingerspwnnoobs, they use them to make shark-fin soup. It's comparable to the buffalo in the 19th century.

[AgentMercer]

@Gingerspwnnoobs they eat them, it's pretty sadistic and cruel

-"hay fotos y videos graficas de esto, te parece si se circula estas, la gente tomará más consiencia?

-"sí, siento q si mostras miles de tiburones muriendo en el piso del oceano, o ver cuantas aletas se venden en una auccion de aletas,por ejemplo.

es algo muy feo, y perturbador.. Lo que pasa aca es que si la gente NO LO VE, no sienten el impacto de eso..

-"que recomienda para q la gente detenga esto?

que la gente se eduque sobre esto, sobre el ecosistema oceanico mundial. eso es lo puntual.

[AlyWallyCobainy]

-"Por estimacion, que 200mil tiburon POR DIA son sacados del oceano

Es como 70millones por año, Sacan los tiburones,les sacan las aletas, y los tiran de nuevo al oceano para morir una muerte lenta y sufrida.

La desventaja es, pescando por tiburones, los animales de la profundidad,y no tan profuno, se enrredan en las redes,la meta es atrapar a los tiburones

pero terminan atrapando varios otros animales. y esto perjudica el equilibrio del ecosistema..

The sadest part about this is im too young to do something about it, feels like studying and getting important to change all those freaky stuff.

[CrazyStacey101]

People are so cruel...

Unfortunately, Dan is right. Out of sight, out of mind. Become educated and informed.
