Shark Finning


 Son K was telling me how endangered sharks are due to shark finning.  He saw a program on National Geographic featuring Gordon Ramsey.  This celebrity is working toward having shark finning banned and spreading necessary awareness of this practice. K says baby sharks, all kinds of sharks, have their fins ripped off and are left to die a slow painful death.  The fins are then sold and enjoyed as high status soups or whatever.   Were you aware of the horrors of this?

  3. Oh, no! So sad. On the other hand I have never had shark fin soup either. Finally, something I can be proud of Gordon about.
