  • how is eating shark fin soop any different from eating other fish?

  • @fishingkayakphil because fish can reproduce faster than shark and we eat the whole thing not just fins

  • Loved this video, I'm sharing it on Facebook right now, great job!!!

  • We on top of the food chain now for a reason.

  • @rashidul227 ya weapons we are not on the top of natures food chain because we need weapons to defend ourselves we are the worst of all animals

  • @ttv0 weapon is a mans best friend go to war you will find out the thrill of kill or be killed

  • @rashidul227 ya we are shit without weapons so we are not truly top of the food chain we are not top of the food chain in the water we are the lowest because we need boats shark are the top and humans need be on top no matter what so we kill.we use weapons because we are weak.

  • Stop ranting .. Action speaks louder than words here. Racism ain't gonna help no shit.

  • If you happen to reside in one of these countries:

    1) China 2) Hong Kong/Macau 3) Singapore 4) Taiwan 5) Malaysia

    & If you really wish to stop/minimize such cruel activities of sharksfinning.You may consider going to the local ROM office (Registry of Marriage) giving out phamplets/flyers to the chinese bride/groom-to-be educating/advising them not to serve shark's fin soup on their official wedding day (nowadays I also refrain from eating it)

    THUMBS UP for others to see this message please.

  • man it is really hard to feel sorry for esat asia at all im sorry to feeling this way but i cant feel bad for anything that happens,

  • Oh idiots!!!! Chinese eats not Kills

  • this video aint funny how would you like it if i sliced your leg off drained the blood out into a bowl and put your leg in and served it to a person and threw you in the bin? eh?

  • that's soooo horrible! 

  • im the president of animal protection org. "" USA Earth Rebels"" .every1 remember ""95 % of all animal cruelty in the world is done by Asians or for Asians"",and that is the most important sentence to say out loud.

  • @VodkaGrey i agree 100% it has nothing to do with there race but everything to do with the way they treat our animals. asians are root of all evil

  • Calling all slit-eyes, STOP EATING SHARK FIN SOUP

  • the worst thing that ever happened to this planet is that we showed up....to bad

  • I always say that those asians are freeks!!! and not them only... sad...

  • i wish that all the celebrities in the world would vote to stop shark fining!thats just cruelty to animals :(

  • if there werent sharks the fish wud over populat then we wudnt have any oceans to swim in 

  • stuiped asians

    

  • @tony00215 dude not all Asians are like that. First of all I'm Asian and the only time I got to drink shark fin soup was never.

  • @BossX15 You see, that's just what people don't care about anymore. Many people in the western part of the world think that they're superior, and always show the bad things asian people do. If something's up in the west, blame the east. That's pretty much how many people western of other countries think. They're too ignorant to see their own problems, only to try to shut people up by saying OMGZ LOOK THEYRE SO BAD! WE'RE SOOOOOO GOOD! I almost heard that exact line some time ago.

  • @Kashlikaro Thats a crock of shit.  Why does everyone always jump to racism first instead of being accountable for their own actions. Seems to be the latest way for society to evolve.

  • @TheDayBeautyWasBorn ...Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing with me? Depending on that, shouldnt people (US Racists for example) be trying to solve all the crap they cause. (Staying out of other nation's war, limiting pollution, stopping shark finning, overhunting in the area) instead of going into other countries and screwing around with them? (Blaming them for everything that happen, ordering other nations to fix their problems first) Its basically what commentors are saying (MrMusclefish)

  • @Kashlikaro So according to yo, this problem should be solved like this.

    "Retarded bleeding heart liberal description of countries like USA approaching China: "Hey China, care to stop compensating individuals who fin massive amounts of sharks so a few of you can enjoy 150 dollar shark fin soup?"

    China response. "USA, you invaded Iraq, Afghanistan. Europe, uh you did something bad too for sure, whatever it is."

    USA and others response, "ok fine keep massacring those sharks you win."

  • @Kashlikaro No nation on this earth is perfect, least of all its people. Its what makes us human beings. But China takes the cake for many reasons. Its by far the oldest sovereignty. Yet despite its thousands of years of wisdom as a nation, as a collective over all others, its so backwards.

    We've got people in Hong Kong eating expensive shark fin soup, on the back of the miserably poor of the rest of China. The cheap labor that drives their booming economy. (cont)

  • @Kashlikaro Not to mention that all the unsafe goods that get rejected in Europe, 70% of them are from China where the average monthly income of a person is 160 a MONTH (this after a recent 40% wage increase). And on the huge profit margins from their veritable slave labor, a few Chinese are enjoying expensive shark fin soup!

    This is a country that has ZERO environmental responsibility. They massacre dolphins as well to prevent them from disturbing their on shore fish farms.

  • @Kashlikaro And gawd only knows what they feed those fish before putting them on the market. Lets look at China's record. BPA in baby pacifiers WITH unsafe levels of lead in the paint of the handles. Unsafe levels of lead in many child's toys (even Bauer hockey sticks recently). Melamine in powdered milk to dupe nutrition tests into believing there is more protein.

    The thing that your other countries are doing wrong is actually having their companies use China to build their crap.

  • @TheDayBeautyWasBorn I know that theyre doing horribly when it comes to safety and enviromental stuff, but its what the Chinese employers are used to that making their material cheap (which leads to lack of safety)They make millions of toys ASAP and well, get money for it, cause we buy it, so they think its completely alright. Im glad youre saying China's businesses are bad tho, not all Chinese should die or any shit like that. To a buisnessman, its money that matters, and blindness to all else.

  • @Kashlikaro thats why so many businesses go to China. Think we could ever pay anyone in USA, Canada or any European country to produce and work as they do in China? And not only that, many of these factory cities (300k employees with the families working on site) have local dictator style bosses who push the hell out of their employees. And its the benefactors of these modern day sweat shops that are partaking in this disgusting shark fin soup fetish crap.

  • @Kashlikaro I just hate when they say its a cultural thing. No its not, its a rich man thing. China makes things like globalization BAD. How can European, Canadian, American etc companies compete with countries that have employees that work for dirt cheap?

    Then lets talk about population... 15 million have been born so far in China this year.. according to their official site. Somehow I think that number is severely under exaggerated lol.

  • @TheDayBeautyWasBorn How can Europeans, Americans, or Canadians compete with China? Well that's just plain simple. Let's head back to Grade 8 History. They use Tariffs if its getting out of control. Then people will want to buy from their nation or not from China. But the thing is, is that our nations probably have this tariff-free policy with everybody.

  • FUCKING Gooks and Nips.... NUKE THEM ALL

  • @Ro4sharks

    I did choose my words wisely. I'm not agreeing with you because of your belief system. look man. been all over the world and been exposed to many schools of thought. this is what I know. people the world over are constantly at each other. about this or that. shark finning is brutal. yes. no question. however, all hippies complaining about how no animal should be hurt to ensure human survival is retarded. again. we are at the TOP of the food chain for a reason.

  • @johnnyp19812005

    I think we were arguing at tangents... It seems you were only arguing against "hippies" (stupid label by the way) who don't want any animal harmed. I am arguing that sharks are a VITAL part of the ocean's ecosystems - never mind the brutality, we kill of sharks and bang go the fisheries and the main source of the planet's oxygen (plankton - fact). They are apex predators controlling population of species below them. (continued)

  • @johnnyp19812005

    my previous post was referring to the fact that 1st you talk about God making us to eat protein, then next post say you've seen 1st-hand God doesn't exist. simply trying to work out the point of your argument. sarcasm obv. wasn't blatant enough. Bored, I have better things to do than net arguments, just feel strongly about the issue. I am making positive changes in the real world so won't be debating further. Inspired comment on my page, very constructive and well-informed! meh

  • For the people getting all high and mighty about it being the Asians... yes it is massive in Chinese culture, but a large majority of shark fins come from EUROPEAN fishing fleets, while there are many 5-star restaurants across the US and Europe serving this as a delicacy. Hawaii is the ONLY US state that has a ban on shark products. It's not about pointing fingers it's about solving the problem.

  • Again, I say, finning is stupid and a waste. Eat the whole shark, not just the fin. If tuna is the chicken of the sea, then shark is the pork chop of the sea ( lipsmacking sounds!!... )

  • that figures the slant eyed bastards are behind this

  • Comment removed

  • @whitecolour1 God damn you! Use some prper grammer too it'll make you sound less moronic...oh too late. Human lives DONT MATTER there are too many of us and too few of them. Justify them killing 10 of us a year to us killing 10000000 PLUS of them a YEAR! Go ahead...come on!

  • Comment removed

  • @TheFONZfan

    dude if we weren't sposed to eat it, we couldn't digest and make useable energy from the protein. my god man. humans are at the top of the food chain for a reason. dirty hippy. take a shower.

  • FUCK AH YOU SHARK FIN SOUP FUCK AH YOU ASIAN EATING SHARK FIN SOUP

    kiss meh ass!!

  • you know what's ridicioulous bout shark fin soup they have to flavor the broth with beef or chicken stock because th fin is a tasteless jeleton like stuff...that's what's make me angry it's a waist of an animal that they have to flavor anyways.....Please stop this killing ...could you image someone cutting off your arms and legs then throwing you back in the water....taht's no way to die

  • Asian motherfuckers stop killing the sharks

  • btw I from singapore as mentioned... hope someone could come and ban shark fin and flesh in here... even though shark is listed as endanger species, i still cant believe some fk** organisation for environment say it still ok to eat... truly government control i believe just for the huge import corrupted taxes

  • Suva1987... Ever though about what would happen if there are no sharks in the open seas?

    Man this statement is so stupid... Let me guess, you still belive in Santa Claus?! oô

  • Comment removed

  • Why do we have to allow one or two people to discourage us in our mission to get people to boycott shark products? Amoeba is EVERYWHERE for god's sakes. I'm ASIAN, and I'm ashamed of my culture because it's barbaric. In fact, I'm saddened that Asian culture is THIS terrible. Sharks are beautiful creatures, and blood is being shed into oceans freely just because we WANT something that we CAN live without. Wake up man, the reality is staring you in the face.

  • Agree,i an Asian too... from now on I boycotting sharks product... thx goodness for eating them when i was younger :( cant believe how those shark murderer and trader do such a dirty raping act...

  • STOP EATING CAVIAR !  THATS CRUEL !

  • fix that not 100 bucks but still its like dumb to kill off the sharks just for a status symbol and its not a reall food its just for tecture. Kinda like adding corn starch for thickness in a cream of soup

  • Would you shark huggers complain a little less if they just stabbed the shark to death before throwing their corpses back on the sea? Because all I've read until now makes me think that the main issue about shark finning lies solely within the fact that they are left to suffer a slow death after being finned. But don't say that it's wrong just because they're killing to eat, or we'll have to get back to that old topic about how the West does the same to its cows and pigs. Cut the crap...

  • its only wrong cause its for a soup that cost like 100 bucks to eat for a status symbol like look im eating a shark fin soup cause I can afford it even though it tastes terrible and has no noutricious value. Its like saying lets eat poop cause its cool.

  • How dare you compare an imperial recipe that was created more than a thousand years ago to eating plain shit? I just can't believe it! Let's forbid seaweed harvesting then, for we eat a lot of agar here in the West...

  • no u misunderstand I am comparing it to a fad like just because it is populuar everyone does it like teens who go o look the popular kid wears the tshirt inside out lets do it too. Its called regulations on somethning like this find have your soup but you should only be allow to go after certain sizes of sharks, certain restricked amounts just like we have rules like fish and game wardens to restrick how much fish of certain types and certain sizes you are allowed but you people want to kill

  • them to extinction I have a question since 90% of the sharks are gone because of the shark fin soup what are u gonna do when the sharks are all gone? you all act like you are teens who would pin ur ears to ur head because everyone is doing it. read my other comment the tecture is unneeded use something like plant like plants do not have intellegice. lets alone u also should not over take on plants. do you not when you harvest something wild let some of it alone so it can grow back again?

  • The other reason sir is that the sharks keep the population down of fish that eat the creatures that filters out the carbon dioxide like our plants do on the surface. science has proven that the oceans are on the edge of turning acidic and if that continues there will be nothing left to fish the fish and other species will die due to the acid levels we are mad because you insist on killing the oceans for greed and an unimportant status symbol. The oceans die we die open your eyes goddess bless.

  • Wake up. You wouldn't like it if I chopped all your limbs off and left you bleeding to death, in agony, for some SOUP. It IS partly because they are left in such a disgusting, heartless manner that it is wrong, but also because these sharks have been around for tens of millions of years, before we were even amoeba, before religion, technology or anything, and now because of our plague-race for money and status, these animals are becoming EXTINCT. Just HOW is that difficult to understand?!

  • Oh really? Well, you wouldn't enjoy it if I cut through your jugular veins and let you bleed to death just for a steak (because that's the way they kill cows). How is it difficult to understand that the world has greater priorities than defending sharks (erradicating the HIV, for example)? By the way, amoebas are older than sharks within the evolution timeline...

  • It's not difficult to realise that the world has larger priorities, bu you need to stop being so damn stubborn. Cows are killed frequently, yes, but so are lambs, and many other animals. You could say its wrong that other cultures eat dogs not cows, but thats YOUR view. if you disagree with the way we so-called 'shark-huggers' feel, then get off the video and don't post ill-advised, obnoxious comments. You must have something you care deeply about. This is what I care deeply about, okay?

  • Well, it's a free cspace, isn't it? We all have the right to comment here, and no one should bend to another one's orders to stop saying what they think. Whilst you want to praise the video, I want to condemn it, and nothing seems to be changing about that.

  • Why exactly DO you want to condemn it? I can't see how this video could possibly be in the wrong in anyone's eyes, even if they don't follow the subject like I do.

  • Why? Because it portraits common, honest Asian consumers as intentionally cruel, careless monsters just because they are eating something they have learned to enjoy all their lives. I know I'd hate to be portrayed as an assassin just for eating meat or poultry. This video is RACIST! Do you support it? If you do, that means you hate Asians...

  • I'm not racist, no. And I don't believe that this video portrays Asians as the culprits entirely. I live in the UK and because we are with the EU it is not illegal for our fishermen to do the same work. I understand a dish that has been around a long time being a part of a culture, but I don't understand why there can't be regulations and a specific programme to stop us from wiping these creatures out. The dodo is a great example - men land on island, find bird tasty, bird becomes extinct.

  • I condemn the video. And I am Asian. Why would you think i want to condemn myself and my race? I'll tell you why, it's the cold-blooded killing of sharks that matter, and it doesn't matter whether they die before they are discarded. The thing that matters the most is that sharks are necessary to holding up the ocean ecosystem, and if sharks go extinct you can say bloody goodbye to fish and every type of seafood because they will all go down the drain with the sharks. How would you like that now?

  • @TheAriaftw

    Unless you're an internationally-renowned marine biologist, I won't trust your catastrophic predictions...you're probably saying that sharks are vital to the biosphere only because someone told you.

  • I'm sorry my friend but you don't seem to understand. I don't have to be an internationally-renowned biologist to tell you this, I'm a student studying this in my biology class, and the stuff they print in textbooks and research papers on the matter certainly isn't crap. Besides, it's common sense. Sharks eat fish, fish eat plankton, krill and shrimps. Sharks gone, too many fish, too many fish eat too much plankton. Too much plankton being eaten will eventually result in no more plankton.

  • No more plankton, no more fish. Get it now? It's a chain that everyone can and should understand because it is simple. Besides, there are many other campaigns beside my own to protect sharks and to persuade people to give up shark's fin soup and other related shark products. You can oppose and undermine one, but can you undermine all of them? It's something we should all be in together, because if we lose this fight, we will all die. Would you like me to explain that to you as well?

  • You´re the one who doesn´t seem to understand the logic of nature. You explain it like sharks were the only predators out there in the ocean. If all sharks die, whales and dolphins will eat more fish and thus balance their absence. There is more than one species who feeds on fish. Did you not know about that?

  • I'm sorry we got into such an argument due to different mindsets. I believe in saving sharks, you don't. Whatever. You can think I'm ignorant and plain annoying because I stand up for what I think is right. The point that I'm ultimately trying to make it, you can't remove something from the natural environment and expect everything to be the same as before because it is plain impossible. So whatever you say about whales and dolphins filling the void, it will not be the same as before.

  • Why can't we just try to save as many species as we can? You're being selfish when you want to condemn sharks. What about the future generation? Why should we deny them the pleasure of seeing one more species that stays on this Earth we al share? I am a shark hugger and I'm proud of it. You can say whatever you want. Whatever it is, I will not stop promoting the shark-hugging cause.

  • I'm breaking up the act. Internet debates lead to nothing in 99% of situations. We won't change one another's opinions, period.

  • @ScalpelKyle WHALES AND DOLPHINS DONT MATTER! Sharks have been around for millions of years and are engrained in the food chain. will kill MILLIONS OF SPECIES!

  • @TheFONZfan

    ok you are just an idiot. nothing more to say about that.

  • it needs international prohibition now !!

    awesome vid 5*

  • i think that is sick wat the do.

  • Wouldn't it be nice if all those fuckers died a slow and horrible death from mercury poisoning ?

  • amen brother! :D

  • Watch the movie "Sharkwater"

    There is one scene in the movie where a guy is talking about the "magical" properties sharks have and that shark fins will help protect against cancer. How uneduacted is that? Shark fins are simply cartilage, which is comprised of protein. You would be better off eating an egg, since they are the only known perfect protein possessing all essential amino acids.

    This movie needs to be released in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, and Taiwan.

  • I watched that movie yesterday man, it was awesome.

    I didn't know there was a "shark fin mafia" in Coasta Rica, also that their government is covering them up.

  • @Tonsilloliths

    i absolutely agree, watch this movie it shows a very different side of those animals.

    but some parts are very heavy.

  • typically, tuna and salmon do not have their fins and tail cut off and are tossed live back into the ocean

  • That would be true if they caught whole sharks. Shark finning makes it so they can catch way more sharks because they don't need to keep the bodies taking up space on board. It's also just cruel.

  • Tthe tuna & slamon industries are drying up because of overfishing as well. The difference is sharks don't reproduce at the same rate as other sea dwelling creatures. Becuz they're apex predators nature has purposefully made it so they don't over-reproduce. Unfortunately Humankind hasn't paid any attention to that. It takes on average 1 shark 9 yrs of maturity to be able to give birth to 2-12 pups/eggs, every OTHER year. Can you see the problem with that equasion & the overfishing going on?

  • your dumb

  • uh yea it is because they only use the fins! and they throw them back into the water alive with no fins! do your research

  • They drown without the fin.

  • Except that tuna and salmon are not delimbed alive and tossed into the ocean alive where they suffer a slow, painful death. Also, tuna and salmon are not endangered, and tuna and salmon have taste. Shark fin is only added for texture.

  • I know that you're comment was 2 months ago, but the Southern Bluefin Tuna is infact critically endangered.

  • i love that people took my comment seriously. fucking christ you people suck.

    YOUTUBE USER COMMENTS ARE WHERE I GO FOR SERIOUS INTELLECTUAL DEBATE!!!

  • lol who other than the chinese would do stuff like that?

  • Ahitaka, if you're a pro-lifer, you should be for ALL life! Why do right-wing nutjobs bring up abortion on animal rights issues? It's a personal choice! Its usually the same ignoramuses who scream abortion yet support the war. Guess what, lots of Iraqi babies died in YOUR war..the parents didnt have a choice! HYPOCRITE.

    "I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being." -Abraham Lincoln

    You say you give up on Humanity? Perhaps you're projecting!

  • Comment removed

  • agreed. they wouldn't mind it if there wasn't this much discussion about abortion.

  • Heartbreaking! There is way too much cruelty towards animals and all for the benefit of the almighty buck. I will never understand how anyone can be such heartless barbarians!

  • @spayneuterpetz

    just out of curiousity. are you a vegan? otherwise, seriously. shut up. and that goes for all you hippie idiots on this page. we are at the top of the food chain for a reason. if god didn't intend for us to use animal protein to live, he/she wouldn't have manufactured us to use it for expendable energy. period.

  • @johnnyp19812005

    First, that relies on your assumption that there IS a God. We are part of a system that CANNOT function at current excesses. Yes, we need protein to live, but Shark Fin? Decidedly NOT. In fact the high levels of Mercury found in Shark fin poisons whoever eats it. It's a pure status symbol and highly wasteful. Chop off fins, throw the rest away. Sharks are endangered and as apex predator s are a vital part of the ocean's ecosystem. Seriously though, play the God card again...

  • @Ro4sharks

    ok having been deployed several times and seeing first hand THERE IS NO FUCKING GOD. choose your words careful.

  • @johnnyp19812005 Keep your stupidity too yourself

  • Shamen on the people doing that just because of profit. Its just one inhuman result of capitalism

  • .......

  • people like them are not nice your right NO SHARK FINING

  • Good job on this video

    Shark finning is a bloody cruel act and needs to stop

  • I'm so tired of the old saw - this food is traditional. My people claimed that cows, pigs and chickens were traditional diet choices. I went vegan and my family is the healthier for it. I believe that mankind can still evolve.

  • Chinese people are the world's problem.

  • Thanks. I guess I should give up fighting for animal rights and conservation so I can conform to your blanket statement, eh?

  • Good one jaykay!

  • chinese should feel guilty while eating this,

  • and then people get all emtional for sharks killing 3 people

  • Are u called 60%question because you are trying to find out where that proportion of your brain went or is that your IQ you retard.

    And as for natzu 54 is obviously the amount of times you play with urself each day. Why don't the both of you loosers take a drug overdose together and then the world will be a better place without you two oxygen thieves.

  • i hope while you were typing this you didn't get a heart attack

  • Congratulations Natzu54 and sixtypercentquestion, you both fail. Enjoy that shark fin soup! though from your comments, I'm guessing you live where most of the houses have wheels and most of the cars don't..so good luck with getting that big hundred saved up.

  • without sharks, we die, because they are part of our ecosystem. it's stupid and cruel to kill them.

  • lool

  • @Natzu54

    You have sharkanoia - and you seem to have a problem with your brain missing.

  • XD go frozenfrogz

  • Natzu54 you are a big jerk how could you think that sharks are becoming extinct!

  • The United States just declared it ILLEGAL to bring sharks from the Atlantic and or the Gulf of Mexico into port without them being whole and intact. NO MORE SHARK FINNING off the coast of the United States!

    I hope the rest of the world follows...

  • Shark species are declining at such a rapid pace that by the time grandchildren are grown, sharks will be viewed only in zoos. We have to stop the long line fishing that kills huge numbers of innocent hungry sharks. We need laws that allow only whole sharks be brought to ports, not just fins. Instead of thousands of fins being piled onto a boat deck, whole sharks take up more space. This will save millions of sharks a year. Universal licensing like the crab and salmon quota's would help most.

  • DON"T EAT SHARK FINS SOUP

  • this is wrong

  • good good good

  • to Ashitaka1110: so you would rather have a fatally ill woman pass on her genes to an innocent baby who has to endore pain its whole life than to just stop the fetus from developing before it's too late...wow...

  • Please don't respond with something like that. The VAST majority of abortions are not for ANY kind of legitimate reason whatsoever. I'm more concerned with people who think it's okay to take a human life for ANY reason. Who are we to decide who lives and dies?

  • well sharks and whales are going endangered. I'm pretty sure that babies aren't going extinct.

  • Good Lord, that's your response? There are plenty of humans around, so who cares if we slaughter thousands of them?

    Seriously? I think I just gave up on humanity forever.

  • ur a speciesist (its an actual word they using it the documentary EARTHLINGS, it means u think ur species is better or more important than others). Musiccrazey is right, most people get abortions because they rn't fit to raise a child, can't afford to raise a child, or they're a teenager and raising a child would ruin their life.

  • Seriously, and who are we to tell people what to do when it doesn't effect us? To tell u the truth, Sharks are way more important to this world. ur just selfish to think ur better than species who've lived on this earth hundreds of millions of years long than us. People have the right to make their own decisions anyway. DON"T FUCKIN COMMENT ABOUT ABORTIONS A SHARK FINNING PAGE! GO TO AN ABORTION VID AND COMPLAIN. NO ONE IN THIS VID GIVES A FUCK ABOUT WHAT U THINK! DON"T TWIST MY WORDS ASSHOLE!

  • Good to see that others have roasted you for this. If anything we should be promoting abortion! Have you noticed the ever-growing human population & the devastating effect it is having on this planet? It's easy to get caught up in the tragedy of an unborn baby being "killed", but if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, the real tragedy is that there are millions & millions of babies born each year.

  • SHAME UPON ALL SHARK FIN CONSUMERS

  • shark finning is WRONG.

    if ANYONE knows how to help STOP IT..TELL US!

  • .. there must be conservation programs put into place such as a particular shark-fishing season.

  • Shark Fin Soup is a delicacy and we have to respect that and respect other cultures but the way the sharks are caught and their fins taken while they're alive before they get chucked back in the water is an absolute disgrace and a disgusting practice. The shark dies a painful and relatively slow death and, although they may be eaten by other sea creatures is still a waste. The sharks should not be tortured and the rest of the shark should be used as well and if this is to continue...

  • there are other reasons why people fish sharks:

    -Fishing xp

    -To make money

    -To get food for healing 20 hp

    -Cooking xp

  • lol

  • Western people seem not to understand that we "farm" cows, pigs, sheep, chickens etc... asians CATCH their seafood from the open sea. The animals have a much better life than any of the "farmed" meat that we eat. Do you know where the meat you eat comes from? You tell me whats better? If your gonna complain turn vegetarian, only then can you judge what they are doing

  • Wrong buddy. Wild animals, and in particular sharks, are subject to very little population control from humans ie. we are very capable of taking from the ocean but how many sharks do you think we have contributed through breeding programs etc. Many shark species will become extinct if this practice continues. Besides, live finning is undoubtedly cruel when compared to ANY farm processing procedures.

  • that was a reply to phillipabcd

  • I agree, live shark finning is utterly cruel and that the conitinuous hunting of sharks will ultimately result in certain species extinction. Shark fin soup, however, is a traditional cantonese delicacy but...

  • ...a booming Chinese economy, increasing population and improved fishing techniques are unbalancing the table. Regarding other "farmed" animals, I suggest you watch the video "Meet your meat"

  • "Meet your meat" is a propoganda video of the worst kind. Peta takes anecdotal and isolated circumstances and uses them to brainwash gullible urban consumers who had never really considered where their food came from before..

  • ..animal cruelty is a third world phenomena today when it comes to farming, and western countries have agricultrual and processing systems that are generally humane. What farmer in their right mind would purposely mutilate their animals before sale, as PETA claims occurs in poultry farms through "covert cameras". Its a joke. Mutilated animals arent paritularly popular with anyone wanting to buy them.

  • I think that this video is racist towards Asians. Shark Fins Soup is a Asian delicacy. Its not like we eat sharks fin soup on a daily basis.
