  • natural disaster,, suck fuckin human

  • Comment removed

  • Shark fin soupe ois teast less and for 1 fucking bowl it costs like over 100.00 would you pay that for teast less soupe ???

  • Shark Fin Soup is about showing off...for that...all this! Fuck china.

  • This is actually a good thing. 

  • damn HUMANS u SCARY!!

  • @danclyde12 Damn NATURE u SCARY!!

  • fuckin asians, the soup dosnt even have a taste, its just one of their stupid fuckin traditions.

    Get real you stupid pricks.

  • shark fin soup sucks...

    bliaaaaaah

  • I agree shark harvest should be managed. However, I do believe the "facts" they present are incorrect and are politics at work. You should be honest about "facts". It is a fact sharks are far from being in danger of extinction. I don't understand why some people don't understand we are part of the food chain (the top thankfully).

  • Where do they get their numbers like, they are 99% gone? I mean ya right, they aren't gone they're just not stupid and are avoiding detection and capture. They don't become rulers of the sea by being stupid.

  • Great Whites are anything but extinct!

  • FUCKIN HUMANS

  • @nob7head You must be a shark.

  • it pisses me off....especially when your completely helpless and can do nothing 2 stop any of this. Were a race of hungry fucks that arent satisfied with eating live stock or normal fish...no we have 2 go and kill everything alive..4 what...2 see how it taste and the rarer the animal the tastier apparently..bullshit....we humans advance in technology and i applaud us 4 that, but when it comes 2 mentality and the psychological aspect...we are primitive still.

  • Humanity is nothing more than a plague......i may be human but if it means saving the lives of entire species of life and the pplanet itself then by all means wipe us out......i love my life and the fact im alive but to be alive and see soooo many assholes on this planet not giving a rats ass about anything but themselves is sad and disturbing......its time to sit down and think about our ways and point of views when we are literally erasing species from the planet.

  • they sould stop killing sharks like we dont want to get eaten and the sharks dont like that to paste this if you think that to.

  • sharks dont like nasty ass human meat thewy atasck brcause they are cunfused

  • people who do this are just fucking bitches that all they care about money. YOU BETTER STOP THIS FUCKIN SHARK EATER BITCHES!!!

  • I'd rather eat a nice juicy steak than shark fin soup. Shark fins are tasteless at best, only the broth is tasty. I mean, a BigMAc is just as welcomed.

  • What animal that we all know that are instinct, I mean living in 1 lifetime.......

  • fucking people need to stop this, it may be goodd to eat but its a horrible thing to do!

    but if they dont stop then i think scientists need to make shark farms so they can mate them and keep the species ALIVE!!

  • I know, I don't want to see my grandsons only read about sharks. I mean, I would like to see a Dodo bird myself. extinction is not really a good thing in terms of biodiversity.

  • fag

  • noo ..i cant see this anymore this must stop or otherways 2years will pass and we will dont see any sharks more that must not happen....

  • all i can say is sharks are d0pe!! and that asians are fucked!! asians kill the most coolist animals.. like cats and dogs,, they skin them for there fur while there are still allive., or they just fuckin eat em.!! lol,, but what im trying to say is that they just dont give a shit.. and that killin sharks for fins and cats and dogs for fur should be illegal.. and if it is already they should have pay a phat fee for doing stupid shit like that..!!!

  • Whoa whoa whoa, I'm asian and I love animals. I never thought to eat dogs or cats. They're the cutest things on the face of Earth. So don't go stereotyping just because only the Chinese and Japanese do it. They aren't the only asians, you know.

  • Did you watch the video? The market may be asia but europe is the major culprit here. Humanity in general seems more concerned with profit rather than the natural world. big shame on us.

  • stupis humans, we stink.

  • Sharks are freakin amazing animals. It's too bad so many sharks are now on the threatened or endangered lists.

    If you want to get involved, check out the documentary "Sharkwater"

    We can help these animals and ultimately help ourselves at the same time.

  • i blinked ten times and there still here

  • b.s

  • yes

  • We Must Put An End To Bloody Shark Finning And Overfishing, before it's too late....

  • Comment removed

  • once all the sharks are gone were screwed.

  • why?

  • i hate sharks they're ugly

  • Thats the same reason they dislike you.

  • lol sharks are amazing

  • Sharks kill people fuck them kill them to much fish in the sea now well lets gets those fish and give it to starving county's problem solve.I live in the USA and theirs no jobs i might take up Shark hunting and she said theirs no laws that protect sharks lair Hawaii doesn't not let you hunt sharks. I hate tree huger s that don't think out side the box.

  • More like the fact that people radically over fish the seas to the point of extinction. The fact that sharks keep down populations of seals and other fish eating mammals actually allows some fish stocks to increase. No sharks = more seals = less fish

  • Really wish people like you would just go, get in a closet, shut the door, then break off the handle. You are a complete embarassment to an entire nation. Your ignorance is only 2nd to your worthlessness on this planet.

  • Funny isn't it, if we're not busy killing each other, we're busy killing something else. Money doesn't discriminate, whether it's resources, people or animals, it just has to be exploited so the greedy can climb up the social ladder.

    I'm a vegetarian because life is precious to me, but that doesn't make me a better person, I mean Hitler was a vegetarian too. Just makes me depressed at the sorry state of the human race, so I smoke a lot of pot and become apathetic to the whole situation.

  • Why cant we just leave them alone ... or better yet put the threatened species on endangered lists and impose a worldwide ban on hunting them.

    Australia has alreadz placed a ban on the hunting of great white sharks, why cant other countries follow that example ... or is the money just too tempting.

    As a species we are a plague on this planet and our greed will not only destroy fragile eco systems worldwide but eventual destroy us a well, and we seem to be suicidally stupid enough to do it.

  • mass murder, shows how greedy we are as a race. we should kill less and pay more for each one. fish have a high value that shouldn't be canned for 99c.

  • Humans are a plague on this planet and will destroy everything including ourselves.

  • thanks for posting this video! more people need to be aware that we are overfishing our oceans and that humans are hunting sharks in dangerously large numbers. sharks are very valuable to our oceanic ecosystems and we need to stop hunting them in such great numbers. humans are over fishing sharks and many other types of fish. sharks have been around since prehistoric times, there is much to be learned by this wonderful species.

  • Sharks barely kill any people at all. Death rates of shark attacks every year are usually about 2-0. People are just scared of them, after seeing so many shark movies and hearing about what they are capable of. They are in fact creatures that normally eat small fish, and are very afraid of humans.

  • There are a lot of comments that say, "That's why I won't eat shark fin soup". Well I hate to tell you, but that's not going to make a difference... you actually have to go out, spread the word, take action, and try to make a difference.

  • Actually, Paneatix, sharkfin soup is the biggest reason why sharks are disappearing. Their disappearance is a sad symptom of human stupidity. The fins actually have no taste, they only provide a certain texture to the soup; a texture that can easily be mimicked by other foods. If it were up to me, sharkfin soup would be banned across the globe.

  • I agree.

  • u sound like some1 who has never had high class shark fin soup rather than those sold in plastic containers. I do agree the texture is the main part. but the fins does have a taste. Sharks and any other species are bound to extinct some day. When their time comes, just die like over 90% of the species EVER lived on Earth. yet ppl like u are the only 1s who ever felt guilty about wiping out a species. and u are talking about stupidity...

  • I don't know why I'm bothering to reply... I could write a few books on why I disagree with your comment. Here's an idea: let's make panda soup! You certainly won't mind that, since you (and most people in your opinion) never "felt guilty about wiping out a species."

  • i seriously dun get whats wrong with making panda soup. the point is regardless of human behavior, MANY species will dissappear. due to natural enviromental causes, failure of evolution, over eaten by predators (not always humans) and so on. so why should humans be the only ones to feel obligated to save endangered species? if they cant safe themselves, fuck em. I doubt sharks, lions, crocs will hold back if we were to be on an even field. i dun think they will care if they eat us to extinction

  • Part of the essence of being human which separates us from animals is realizing the consequences of our actions. We should feel obligated to save endangered species because, in the overwhelming majority of cases (such as this one), we put them in that situation without any good reason. Animals kill other animals for survival and don't understand the concept of extinction. . humans have options, like eating meat from sustainable sources.

  • consquences? if we eat too much of 1 species and they cant adapt and evolve fast enough to survive then its their own fault. when they are gone we will just eat something else. the earth will still work without a couple of insignificant species.

  • I think with our intelligence it;s our duty to take care of animals. However, sharks are NOT an insignificant species. They are the biggest predator, anything missing can change the circle of life soo much.

    Having said that, it kind of is their problem, just wait till there's a revolution and you get killed in your bed. Whoops, that's YOUR problem.

  • meh. Nature will work itself out. without predator pretty much means more fish for us. And people like you say its ur duty to take care of animals. but what u really care about is not the animals as ur last line of ur 1st paragraph reveals. u are just concerned with ur own enviroment and ur own habitat. u are just agraid u cant live the way u do anymore. just everyday human act of self interest.

    And ya if i get killed in my bed it really is my own problem. what does it have to do with u?

  • So let's put it this way; You're out walking on the sidewalk when a man come up to you and shoots you with a harpoon gun, and then cuts off your limbs and dumps your body in a gutter. Oh yeah I forgot, it's your own fault because you can't evolve fast enough. Oh I know EVOLUTION TAKES THOUSANDS OF YEARS, but you didn't evolve fast enough. Too bad for you. Does that make sense?

  • ur analogy fails. we are not talking about individual cases. If 1 day something, for example an alien species came and hunt down man kind. it is our own respondibility to protect ourselves and to find a way for our species to survive. either by adapting, evolving, and any means nessesary. and if we fail, then i would say it is our own fault. the world is unforgiving, and others have no duty or obligation to allow u to live

  • I think your analogy fails also, because you seem to be forgetting that sharks don't have the mental capacity of humans, retard. If we are hunting them with guns/harpoons/nets, they can't grab their guns and fight back! They're adapted to survive in different areas, where they shouldn't need guns. You think they can come onto the land and fight back? How on earth can they adapt!? If they try, humans will outsmart them again and again. Come on, that's just logic.

  • no. u still failed to prove my analogy is invalid. all u did was just saying sharks can't win against humans. Which is pointing out the obvious. So don't call people retards when u can't even make a genuine valid argument. plus they don't have to adapt interllectually. they can always evolve to reproduce faster. like how rabbits, rats, and many fish species. Its their own fault to not be able to reproduce fast enough. So there are more than 1 way to ADAPT. u just have tunnel vision idiot

  • Oh, so now they have to reproduce faster. What the fuck does that mean!? Sharks, along with many other animals, don't fuck all day long to make babies! In fact, No species does that, not even humans. What on earth are you even talking about "It's their own fault they don't reproduce fast enough"! It takes Millions of years to evolve, and adaptation takes hundreds of years. The smarter something is the faster it will adapt! Reproducing faster won't work because it takes a long time to adapt!

  • Oh I'm sorry, I don't check youtube every day for comments. Humans have been hunting sharks for hundreds of years, but never in such large numbers. A hundred years ago we didn't have trawling nets that catch hundreds upon thousands of fish and ocean species, sharks included. Sharks are much different than rabbits and "other types of fish". Sharks give birth live, like all large animals. Only the smaller ones, that must rely on large groups to survive will give birth to larger amounts of young.

  • rabbits give birth to live babies as well. don't tell me you think they lay eggs

  • Did I actually say they did? I said that they give birth to larger amounts of young to provide their chances of living.

  • then perhaps sharks should learn to do the same.

  • Read my other comment. And in fact, I'm tired of this conversation. I guess you're free to believe what you want, and vice versa for me. Since I can't change your opinion, at least I tried. No need to reply, I'm done.

  • i have a tendency to finish what i started. so i am gonna reply everytime u do. if u wanna give up then. go ahead.

  • Well, there's nothing else more to talk about. So I guess I am "giving up". But feel free to keep "finishing" the conversation, if you see fit. I thought it was already done, but if you have more to say, go ahead.

  • >_>

  • Sharks get pregnant with larger numbers, but the biggest strongest babies eat the smaller ones before they are born.

  • sharks get lots of babies, but the one who gets borned the first eats all the others (o_0) thats why they onley get 1 baby at a time.

    instead of like 30

  • I don't know where you heard that, sharks rarely kill each other intentionally if they are the same species. Also, sharks only give birth to no more than 5.

  • There's one breed of shark that eats its siblings while still in the womb. o.o

  • Lol, You are the dumbest person on youtube. You just say a bunch of bullshit for the hell of it, stfu for a change. The main point of anything is that we have a brain and know the difference between right and wrong. And killing something for the fin on its back is wrong. Just stfu dont even reply back to me

  • LOL trying to shut people up on the internet is futile. and u are calling me stupid... And what u said had already been said. And i have already made a counter post. so unless u can refute any of my points, i would suggest you to stfu

  • you don't get it

  • hm its not like the fin soup makes the sharks go away, its mostly more the other deaths caused by hmans

  • you humans stop it! i want some shark fin soup too!!!

  • its so hard to believe people can kill for fun.

  • humans are parasites. enough said. Dont beilve me? look up the word.

  • Humans r the next great "Mass Extinction" there was a meteor/volcano with the dinos and now humanity is doining another one

  • its alright, both of you with your terrible spelling are killing enough people to keep our demand under control.

  • The word parisite is used to refer to an organism that is suriving of its host. You cannot refer to humans as parisites, I can see where your coming from. But although you could argue we cause damage to our host... Earth,its all about context. You may be a parisite, fat american... doing very little for anyone. Many of us do contribute to others :)

  • thank you!

  • meh

  • i think that people are the destoryers of the world thats what i think.

  • then kill urself

  • i completly agree.

  • Shark fishing, or watever u call it can not be stopped, so the best solution for this situation is to LIMIT the shark harvest(like for sword fishes) and we should culture sharks.i mean we can make fish ponds, why cant we make a shark pond for its shark meat.

    its a bit cruel i know, but sharks is a "delicacy" in asia, we can't just tell them to stop this sharking.

    but if you were to choose, culture sharks for its meat?or to catch them to their extinction.

    i wish fishrmen wud watch this video.

  • yo man. stop killing these killers... one of the sickest marine life animal i know

  • yet one more example of how humans are fucking up the earth.

  • gotta love that charity lady... what a scammer...

  • ive never had shark meat i think ill stick with chicken

  • fuckin fishermen scumb

  • err im an asian but whats so tasty about shark fin soup? lol..

  • that thing is da shit!

  • anytime, anyHwere. lol, but seriously we needa stop shark fishing

  • yo! i say let them mutha fcka's eat all the mutha fckn shark fin soup they want yo. you know what i'm sayin?

  • no i dont!

    let them eat chicken soup and crakers or is it not good enough either.?

  • ....

  • Fin soup looks good.

  • why do we need to kill animals for jewerly?.... people need to learn that we are killing beutiful animals for self-gratifacation. sorry for my spelling.

  • :( save the sharks!

  • ps..toooooo many people on this planet... what 6.7 billion now? from 3 billion 50 years ago? and an estimated 9 billion in 20-30 years... even 50 years ago we were way over the carrying capacity of the earth... need fuckin zombies or plague or something... tahts the real solution... until then we need more money, instead of less, into research on environmental conservation for waht we have left, and environmental restoration for have been and always will be FUCKING UP...

  • if their were zombies that would take up room fucktard

  • if i never get to see a shark on a dive its gonna be a bloodbath

  • lol

  • Ok so I love sharks for all my life (preschool) and so to see such a beautiful creature like that deplete so quickly is sad. also if the great white sharks doesn't exsit then sea lions (or something like that) will grow alot, then there food becomes scarce, then they die. so you would already have like 10 species out the door plus all the animals that eats those are gone so basicly the entire food chain collapses!!! The sea one anyways. Also it is very sad that they would just dump them.........

  • continuing..... off the side so they can slowly die, the least they could do would be to use all of the animal so then somewhere else they don't have to kill another shark for there liver or something.

  • ok so cows are bred so they are produced alot so they are not going close to endangered anytime soon, but sharks it takes like 10 to 20 years to mature and then they hardley have any babies.

  • blame bush

  • I want some fin soup.

  • Lol Jesus Martinez Santos the fisherman

  • which should we kill first sharks or humans? I see more humans killing humans each night on the news never really see sharks killing humans..

  • Ill continue... Killing an animal because it threatens our safety when we are in its domain is lame brain reasoning. Lets think this out would u walk into the bear cage at the zoo and then kill the bear because it threatens your safety? Hell no that is absurd. Killing something merely because it stops you from having fun is stupid. O and you spoke of discovery thats what submarines are for... no diver is going to explore the whole ocean with a dive tank and flippers. Get ur head out of ur ass.

  • hunterings u r a dipshit. Do u enjoy breathing? how about living? Obviously you haven't taken a biology class in your life. The ocean provides the world with about 70% of its oxygen. The ecological balance is at stake if one was to wipe out the apex predator. This is the series of events that would unfold:

    1. the primary and secondary consumers will be consuming all the algae. As you know or maybe not, the algae is what photosynthesizes to make oxygen.

  • Ocean will not be safe untill these lethal animals are eradicated.

  • i hope your joking. Otherwise your incredibly stupid. Wipe out sharks you wipe out the oceans ecosystem.

  • The ecosystm is made of extinct species, because of evolution. We need the seas to be safe for our children, surfers, divers... Let's have priorities ! For God's sake !

  • If you want to be safe from a shark stay on land... or buy shark repellent. Seriously r u gonna say that the waters need to be safe for human survival? Well cars kill more people a year than sharks do, so according to your logic of protecting people we should discontinue the use of cars... and for that matter guns. O and just so you know the definition of an ecosystem is the living and non living factors associated with it. extinct species are just that... gone. so how do they contribute? dumbas

  • They contribute by leaving free space for other and new species. Haven't you seen Waterworld ? After sharks extinction, we will be able to colonize oceans ! I find it very exciting. But first the sharks have to be killed. It is evolution. In a way, it is for better oceans and a future according to mother nature plans.

  • Sharks deserve 2 die..theyd kill u in an intent.....they restrict us from swimming for leausire or such,and its our natural insticnt 2 discover st00f!

    so if anything gets in our way,and is potentially lethal.

    I however do not agree on letting animals or fish alike suffer so i think if a fish must be killed it must be quick, however i do not agree with any other animal.

  • Your an idiot and deserve to die. Of course they would kill you they are PREDATORS, ten people a year dir from shark attacks while 100,000 people die a year from mosquito bites... hmmmmm

  • You can't spell worth shit :)

  • u can't shit worth spell!

  • ROFL! I guess i cant ;o

  • toker06 <- your sounds like hypocrite! your western trash don't eat pig! cow! sheep! chicken! fish! or you are going to tell me that they are not the animal! hey western ppl stop acting like hypocrite, your moron love to fishing shark, there are so many shark fishing videos made by American on youtube.stop with the animal killing! No wonder why!USA has Top1 hypocrite population on earth.

  • i agree!!

  • For Chinese new generation, we don't have any interesting on shark fin soup. you know what! it is first time I heard that Chinese new generation spent money on shark fin soup, I spent my money of car, or housing. But why I need to spend my money on shark fin soup? we arn't stupid like western medias.

  • humans are fucking up this world too much..stop with the animal killing..and is there any animal asians wouldn't eat...???

  • I am getting enough of your western trash media, Eat Shark Fin soup is Chinese new generation with money to spend! wtf, western trash medias try their best to smear Chinese people, Chinese new generation love to spend money money on shark fin soup! what a world class joke which created by western trash.

  • ..That is so sad. For every dumbass that kills a shark, I would love to feed his ass to a huge school of sharks and watch them rip him to pieces. Any shark killer deserves to be tossed into water and eaten alive. Pathetic losers!

  • For every shark killer, there should be him and all of his dumbass, ignorant buddies getting munched on also.

  • Humans are fucking useless and evil creatures. Now I understand why animal lovers don't trust humans.

    Why cut it's fin off and throw it back into the water to die? Fucking ignorant. At least take the rest of the body and feed your family you wasteful pieces of shit. The Native Americans and the Nordic vikings knew exactly how to make an animal feed a whole family, nowadays humans are fucking evil, useless assholes that need their asses beaten.

  • Not all commercial shark fisherman are bad, i have never sold a shark fin with out a fillet, you shouldnt listen half this shit becouse it is not over fishing as much as it is pollution,and global warming,that is the the fucking evil creature we are. Most commercial fisherman care more for the oceans than most even realize,hell it is how we make a living, .....oceanbound.....

  • I never said anything about you. I don't know you. I only go by what I see... actions speak louder than words.

  • its the illegal fishermen and shark-finners that are the problem. if everyone in the world only ate what they needed, and left the rest alone, this sort of problem wouldn't exist.

  • Yeah I doubt we will see that day though. Humans are wasteful creatures nowadays.

  • WE ARE FUCKING EVERYTHING UP...

  • I agree Bloodlust...if there werent any laws or limits, the ocean would be a bare wasteland,us humans can be so ignorant and greedy

  • Oh yeah, that's great. I want to date a woman who puts shark liver oil on her skin. So sexy!

  • this made me so angry and shocked coz sharks are my favorite animal... i am so pissed off right now....

  • sharks fin is tasteless...even in the soup so we shud eat shark's fin soup without the fin lol

  • spot on,columbustheslayer,i couldnt agree more.hrmph.shark fin soup is way overated.i bet only less than 1 in a million people would be able to tell the difference between shark fin and vermicilli. a lot of people eat it just for the sake of eating it. just like abalone. its just like oh look i can AFFORD it so i'll HAVE to eat it. heck. one restraunt in china managed to fool customers into thinking vermicilli was shark fin, for years before they actually found out.

  • but bro i love abalone ...anyway abalone is diff from shark fin bcuz abalone is cormercialy bred to be eaten so they are expensive and abalone is salty chewy i forgot lol nvr eaten that for like 5 years however vermicelli has taste shark fin dun

  • hahas, at least they're bred and there's a balance...but hey, least you eat it because you like eating it, not for show to demonstrate social status.

  • There are a very large number of people in the world today who need their ass whipped.

  • people just dont understand what is going to happen when sharks are gone many things will change we neeeeed sharks.

  • WTF? Why go kill little rare monkeys and rare sharks? Why not go eat rats and mice and people too, god knows there's enough of them around. haha

  • the disgusting truth about shark fin soup is that apparently the fin doesn't actually change the flavour at all, which means they're wiping out sharks just so some ignorant moron can feel like they're special.

  • exactly thank you! People who eat sharks are dumb!

  • I have eaten shark fin soup when I was in Asia.

  • well then you're a dickhead who should be hunted down and shot.

  • (that was directed at SmellsLikeTheBarn)

  • Are you a complete vegetarian or just a hypocrite?

  • The Great white was the Antagonist of Jaws...

  • and ontop of that the number of Scallops is dwindelling?!?!?! I love scallops! SAVE THE SCALLOPS!...and SHARKS!

  • This is why I dont feel bad when I hear about shark attacks

  • YA why should we feel sorry when someone gets attacked by a shark when we kill millions of sharks each year. We humans got probalms.

  • I agree. We kill sharks out of fear and for sick and twisted cuisine. Our main problem is pride, the second we find out a creature of "lower intelligence" kills one of our own, everyone losses their fucking mind and goes on a hunt for the animal. It doesn't even have to be the right one, they just kill a random one as if they're trying to send a message the other creatures cant understand! We humans are wretched things...

  • And this is why I will never, EVER, eat shark fin soup folks.

  • I second that. That soup will NEVER be near me.

  • T.T why kill my sharks?

  • im azn and dobt want to do that

  • so it's not just the chinese who harms animals, people all over the world all harm animals, it's time we stopped.
