Why does he get to crap all over the practice, while still eating a bowl? So hypocritical. I don't care which side of this debate you're on, it's complete bullshit to indulge on the stuff and THEN complain about the ethics

[EnjoyableApps]

@Higgins2001 He had to try it to see if there was any benefit to the dish, to see if there was anything unique to justify the killing of a shark for just the fin. Did you not pay attention to the video? listen to what he says in the car after tasting.

[Higgins2001]

@EnjoyableApps I did indeed pay attention - Ramsay claimed that his disgust for the practice was due to animal cruelty. Surely tasting the dish did not change his perception of what constitutes cruelty. This would be equivalent to me being against child rape since it is cruel - but raping a child just in case it turned out to be pleasurable regardless. It is a logical fallacy and still makes him a hypocrite.

@Higgins2001 I would guess he has done more for sharks by making this video than you will ever do in your life. Tasting it is to get and understanding of the reason why people pay so much for the dish and eat it in the first place. If you support eliminating Shark Finning and you can not see the benefit of what he has done here, then i don't know what to say. Have you heard the term throwing the baby out with the bathwater?

@EnjoyableApps I'm quite fine with your objection to my comment. However, I find it to be extremely offensive that you believe in censory. Not much of an advocate for democracy are you chap?

[EnjoyableApps]

@capitalismforme Just want to stay on topic. When people come here and see allot of comments that have nothing to do with Shark Finning it is a distraction. it quickly turns into a race issue that is a bit inflammatory and generates allot of posts with four letter words basically becoming a mess.

@MistahWagwan What country do the sharks live in? This is a global issue that effects our oceans no matter what country you are in. He is doing a good thing, you should try doing a good thing instead of trying to bring those down who are helping.

I don't care where you're from, who you are, or anything like that, but eating shark fin soup is seriously wrong. These creatures are treated with no respect and it disgusts me. I wish others could open their eyes to see how absolutely barbaric this is.

Maybe one day there will be no shark fin soup in the world. That would make me happy.

I doubt anybody will actually follow. It just creates more customers for those who still sell shark fin soup. They need to enforce it with laws.

[xKurogashi]

Oh so this is the episode he had a gun to his head. Damn.

[Kawagata]

@Higgins2001 The condition of knowledge at this point is: child rape bad, shark fin good. There is no challenging that child rape is bad. However to challenge that shark fin is good, he must try it to at least knock it, or else he isn't exactly basing it on anything. If you want to debate this with logic; everything has to be based on a pre-existing statement, whether a lemma or axiom. He ate one bowl to be able to judge such a practice fairly, nothing more.

@BarcaFury No rasist comments please!

I like shark fin soup for the taste, personally, but you can find equally delightful "mock" shark fin soup for a cheaper price (and you don't kill sharks while you're at it). Then again, I was not born in China therefore I do not understand it's traditional value.
