  • it's a start to help stop the over hunting of sharks but corruption rules many things. no country is innocent when it comes to endangered species...either from OVER HUNTING or lose of habitat.

  • they banned it in taiwan, but same taiwanese boats now go to centralamerica to fish shark fin

  • But it's not for the cancer fighting properties that they're killed. It's so that ignorant people in Asia can impress their friends.

    Did you know that sharks don't have bones but cartilage? So if this argument is your best one, why do the people who 'finn' the sharks throw back the body which contains way more cartilage than just the finns? Again mate, if you're going to bring forward an arguement, try making is a good one. Oh, you can't? Thats because shark finning is wrong on so many levels.

  • People make the most dumbest ridiculous comments and then they hide behind their computers, when you want reply to them, they either block you or remove their account. Please think before make dumb comments.

    it really illustrates how susceptible we all are to prejudice and how quickly people can be poisoned by misinformation and ignorance,” People only see what they are prepared to see.

    The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about.

  • I'm Vietnamese and I am ashamed to be an Asian person, how can a person do this and go to sleep at night not just this but other cruel things like slaughtering pigs ,horses seal clubbing turtle hunting all this cruelty ways of killing an animal, in 2012 the world is going to change because of this trust me. Go look up "new world order 2012","illuminati nwo 2012" and you'll know what I'm talking about and spread my word

  • Those ****ing Asians better stop doing that. You could at least use the whole shark!!!!

  • ijos desu taiguanesa madre

  • Yep typical mercantile responce. If you do not let me then i will just take my bussiness and just do it some where else.

  • @vincc3

    You're ignorant, and a racist, and I would imagine you're not too smart either. That's what I'd expect from a Canadian.

    -- Also a Canadian

  • it's all about ppl.

    if ppl don't eat it, there is no sense to catch the sharks any more.

  • It won't matter. They'll start eating shark dick. instead

  • @yourtreat2

    hahahahah!!!!

    btw, i am a taiwanese

  • shark fin soup is a bowl of bs. the fin by itself has no flavor of nutrients because the real soup is actually soup of different animal parks. a lot of rich people buy it because it is expensive. the real nutrients are the actual shark it self.

  • @eastern2western

    really? i really don't know that!

    but it is true that it tastes plain and doesn't have much flavor.

    i ate it few times in restaurant or in the wedding i guess?

    i don't eat it now.

  • @a2345678763 anything that is dehydrated and rehydrated losed a lot of its flavor due to dehydration. another thing is shark fin is nothing but soft ligament and skin which has the same nutrient value as chicken feet. all shark fin soup is made from a pork or beef stock and fin does not provide any flavor at all.

  • @eastern2western

    Thanks for your explanation :)

    i would tell anyone i know if i got a chance (especially when they are eating it)

    there is a kind of "vegetarian shark fin" made from green beans in taiwan.

    it's easy to buy in the market to satisfy people's yearn for eating "the real shark fin"

    i know this kind of mentality is quite sick but still, it's a way.

    and to be honest, i think the flavor is quite the same. so ppl can just eat the vegetarian one tho.......

  • @a2345678763 personally, I have nothing against eating meat, but I think it is wrong to kill sharks just for its fin. the vegan fins you are talking about is just basically rice noodles with artificial flavoring and I am just they have to dress it with some soup from pork or beef which defeats the whole purpose of vegan fin.

  • @eastern2western Why is that wrong? The rest of the shark is thrown back into the ocean for other marine life to consume. What ethical principle are you referring to?

  • @what77777 the major problem is that they are killing too much of them for the fins.

  • @what77777 Why is that wrong? This question really sadens me because if you have to ask, you will never understand even if a million people try and explain it to you but here goes.

    Imagine if we started to catch all of the lions, tigers, leopards, panthers and other big cats around the world, cut off their feet and left them on the ground to die. Just for a single claw to show our friends.

  • @solcanelaroatan Strawman much? Try again. Oh and look up shark cartilage studies. Thanks.

  • @what77777 So maybe we should catch a few sharks to test for this amazing new inhibiting agent insteaad of slaughtering the 70 plus million sharks you do every year for a bowl of chick/pork soup. If you are going to try and argue your case mate, mate it a decent arguement!

  • @solcanelaroatan Pretty sure people at risk or with cancer don't give a shit about environmental preservation especially considering most sharks aren't even endangered.

  • @a2345678763 shark fin is like a lot of feet in different animals, full of bones, ligaments and no meat.

  • @eastern2western Shark cartilage is actually undergoing testing in conventional medicine under the name of Neovestat since it has been shown to inhibit angiogenesis, which you guessed it, can help in fighting cancer.

  • @eastern2western thank god u know what ur talking about. lol

  • i hate sharks

  • You can pass a law but unless it's enforced, especially one like this where it's notoriously difficult to do so then it only impacts on behavior on the margin. Hope Taiwan has a good idea for this.

  • About time somebody banned this practice

  • Fucking sharks.. Yeah cut them to pieces

  • GOOD

  • poor sharks

  • yes

    

  • about time.

  • They kill the sharks for their tiny fins. And they don't even eat the shark or their fins. It is for "flavour". And it was legal? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Of course it should be BANNED.

  • Status symbol? Sucking my dic would be a status symbol for these monkeys.

  • • Don’t worry about it. The green movement is just a Liberal plot to take down the good life for the few hardworking job creators of the world. Besides Jesus is coming soon and he’s going to destroy most of the planet anyway.

    • If you want to help, VOTE REPUBLICAN in 2012!

  • @itsasin1969 destroy is such a harsh word.

  • @itsasin1969 Maybe Jesus won't bother since were doing such a damn good job destroying the planet all by ourselves.

  • It's about time. 

  • yellow.

  • @Mega666Lucifer

    Don't be stupid. Hazem can also be for non-arabs

  • @LastRambo341

    I highly doubt that idiot. Keep your pig mouth shut faggot

  • @Mega666Lucifer first the name is hazem not hazim and hazem is like hazeem which means sound, i get it you dont know that since you dont even know history, Tiwan is china and we call it Tiwan because we referee to the capitalist china not the communist one, and both people are CHINESE! btw idiots, hazim is not just an arab name its hebrew! so stfu and go do something useful you dirty swine!

  • Comment removed

  • first of all you are a blind idiot. i never said hazim moron go check for yourself and I bet you are an arab. secondly it's spelt Taiwan and they are not officially united with China so they are not technically Chinese, they are Taiwanese. you fucking moron learn to spell. and the name hazem is arabic origin so why the fuck you acting like you are not one you idiot. you know nothing so shut your pig mouth loser

    I could say you arabs are even more disgusting with your sharia law bullshit

  • @Mega666Lucifer kiss my ass you fuckin cock sucker! the name is hazim not hazem, go check what hazeem stands for you fuckin idiots, and Taiwan is china so stfu and go read some fuckin history instead of fuckin your mother you fuckin stupid canadian havent done any fuckin shit in history you fuckin cunt! these arabs you insulting invented medicine and even taliban who they are the fucks of the world are a thousand time better than you cuz they not pigs and dont fuck their own mothers you fuck!

  • @Mega666Lucifer Taiwanese and Chinese is the same thing you prick.

    Taiwan is a province of China that is governed by the former Chinese republicans.

    what a stupid piece of shit.

  • @WinkyMaeve

    You might want to read up on that. They are not currently united you idiot.

  • @Mega666Lucifer What the fuck does that have to do with what you said?

    you said taiwan and china are not the same thing, they are.

    both populated by ethnic Han Chinese, and they share the same Chinese culture.

    you are a dumb fucking cunt.

  • @WinkyMaeve

    but even if the ethnic make up is the same they have seperate sovereignty and seperate governments. does that make sense? you dumbshit arab sand nigger

  • @WinkyMaeve

    indeed we share quite the same Chinese culture and most of taiwanese in the past (especially before 1949) were from fu jian province. but still, we are under two independent rule of the government.

    and ppl, in terms of mentality, are still quite different tho.

  • @WinkyMaeve The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about. Taiwan is Not part of China, Taiwan is a free democratic, independent country.  Taiwan have Taiwanese cultures not chinese. You should study proper Taiwanese history. Taiwanese uses Traditional chinese, China uses simplified chinese, Taiwanese also speak Taiwanese which many chinese can't. Saying "Taiwanese are Han Chinese" would be the same as saying "Americans are British".

  • @Theskywaycher shut the fuck up...

    Taiwan is China, they speak Chinese, are of Chinese origin, have a Chinese culture, AND FEEL CHINESE.

    Taiwan is a piece of China that is led by the nationalist government that lost the civil war.

    lol@ you comparing Taiwan to America, holy fuck you are retarded.

  • @Mega666Lucifer With the utmost respect, why are you letting the actions of one person (who isn't even Arab) influence your opinion on an entire group of people? I find your comments racist, and full of unfounded hatred and bigotry. I don't understand how people on the internet can judge another person without having met them. Keep in mind I have not judged you as a person, as I haven't met you, and that would be ludicrously hypocritical. I am merely saying that I take offense to your comments.

  • @JLaylee

    never started it and never will but i will finish it and always will

  • @Mega666Lucifer Why does it have to be that way?

  • @Mega666Lucifer LOL.

    if you don't like Arabs, why are you viewing an Arab owned, Arab funded, and Arab operated TV Channel?

    what a stupid gook.

  • @WinkyMaeve

    it's because I like to read various news sources and I commenting on someone else's ignorance. I guess I should unsubscribe because you are a filthy sand bitch and I dont like your god awful stench that you camel fuckers emit. stupid shitskins
