@play150 You miss the real point. The real issue here that needs to be discussed is not animal cruelty. It is extinction of species. Foie gras ducks are not in any danger of going extinct, as they are bred for such purposes. Sharks, however, are wild animals and as they reproduce very slowly, there is a real danger of them being killed off. Extinction is forever. Animal cruelty or not, foie gras is far more sustainable than shark fin.

Shark should NEVER be eaten in any form.

@Diedrupo i've tried sharksfin soup, it resembles the texture of snot or mucus, the flavour isnt from the shark's fin itself but other herbs and spices and chicken etc

I'm going to say some deep prayers if I ever get the luxury to have a bowl of hammerhead shark fin soup. A shark has to die for it and it probably isn't pretty.

@play150 I know the way foie gras is produced is cruel I have known this about a decade now and I never intend on triying it let alone eating it regularily for this reason. If I found out cattle were being skinned alive in I simply wouldn't buy the meat.. The fact you you know the torture and pain the sharks go through for your bowl of soup and yet you still consume, I find disgusting.

@play150 Foie gras is cruel but the major difference is that the ducks are farmed therefore numbers are monitored.. They wouldn't be skinned alive in their 10's of millions! Also in the 20th century that wouldn't happen, the cattle would bleed causing the muscle tissue to drie out, so why would a slaughter house/farmer do that. The ignorance is disgusting to keep eating the soup knowing that shark numbers have fallen by 90% in the last decade! You won't find a more wastefull industry..

[play150]

@fabmaester Foie gras involves keeping ducks force feeding ducks corn boiled with fat, swelling their livers multiple times the normal size leading to scarring of the esophagus. Chickens and many other livestock are kept in horrible conditions, there are even reports of baby cattle being skinned alive, kicked and shocked in slaughterhouses. That's just as bad and barbaric, or even worse than shark finning.

@fabmaester How could you say that what vegans think are -completely- irrelevant?  A part of vegan reasoning is how people should live without exploiting animals, how animal agriculture is a leading cause to our planet's environmental problems. If this is the way you think I might as well just say that what you think is completely irrelevant.

And don't go pointing your finger at shark fin and Eastern culture when there are multitudinous practices that can be considered barbaric in the West.

@play150 @play150 What vegans think is completely irrelevant.. Sharks are far more intelligent than chickens and the way they die is not instant its a long drawn out process. Often the only part used from the shark is the fin so 95% of the shark is wasted. Also your consumption of mercury can lead to infertility.. They've been on this planet for millions of years since the dinosaurs were roaming around!! You can't just wipe them off the map for a stupid soup!
