  • Many tourists buy these products so don't just blame chinese - blame everyone.

  • That won't help. Sharks reach sexual maturity at about 20-30 years... No way to farm them for their fins... It must stop completely.

  • The only way to stop finning is to shout to Jesus come on you guys start praying don't just waste your time watching these videos. I'm really super cereal!!!

  • The people that eat shark fin soup are eating their own garbage in Hong Kong, the people dump their trash in the ocean, the sharks eat it, people kill the sharks, and eat the shark.

  • sharksploitation

  • @Riceboy33351 The last part you wrote. So bloody true there!

  • @Riceboy33351 That doesnt even make sense...

    Less sharks = more fish that the sharks used to eat!

    (and as long as we eat them fast enough before they get to consume the fish below them fast enough... we can eat our way down the food web one trophic level at a time with relatively little consequence lol.... sooner or later we'll be down to eating jellyfish and algae! but hey, Chinese eat certain types of algae, and jellyfish is delicious!)

    It's the Chinese plot to take over the world! :)

  • Yeah...Um emperor? its a whole new era now. Anyone can get shark fin soup.

  • Environmentalist: Let's stop fishing sharks to save the environment.

    People: There's really nothing we can do about it.

    Fishing Industry: Let's stop fishing sharks so we can eat fishes that we really want to eat.

    People: Oh yeah, we gotta get the government to do something about it.

  • Tell your Chinese friends not to serve shark's fin soup.

    replace it with bird;s nest soup

  • @Z0MBREX The Chinese were never bombed...it was the japanese....and your comment is not going to help the cause.... prejudices get us nowhere. It is their culture, hopefully they can make changes though....

  • Gimme some of that VEGGIE shark fin soup....I'll try that
