Shark Rescue - Our Launch on August 12 2009

On 12 August , Shark Rescue held a press conference on the corner of Des Voeux Road and Bonham Strand West, in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. This area has been called "ground zero" of the shark fin trade. At 1:00pm, Shark Rescues spokesperson dressed in a shark costume headed upstream through Hong Kong's downtown area to the Government House, where he presented the first call to action to the Government. The message: Please do the right thing and lead Hong Kong towards protecting sharks and the health of our oceans.

too bad there is no way to put dandelion milk to bitter the shark fins somehow so it causes to add a nasty flavor to the soups

Isn't dandelion a diuretic? All the better!

Thanks for protesting in Hong Kong and getting to the core of the shark finning problem.

By the way, the contact information on the Shark Rescue webpage keeps getting bounced back.
