Shark Trust Calls for Global Ban on Shark Finning

[Scuba Monkey]

Every time I read another finning story, my blood boils. As well as the Shark Trust, there's another organisation that does some great work in helping our fishy friends.

For all that don't know it, Bite Back have got news items along with email campaigns to help put pressure on supermarkets etc to get their act together and stop the slaughter. Not everyone can afford to give money, but I urge everyone that sees this message to visit their website and give some time to send off a few emails.

Thanks,
Colin.

Although at least the whole fish will be used rather than just the fin, this still seems a bad thing..... ideas for a YD protest?

(Edit - removed the quote from the Times - as this is already in this thread - I started another thread without realising it was allready going - thanks to mods for moving...)

Well Page says, "I will only target mature tope, not younger ones, and want to work with conservationists, not against them. The tope is a lovely tasting fish. We have a lot of them, so why not sell them? I don’t understand the problem."

The problem, Mr page, you dumb b@$+@rd is that if you kill 300 a week, there won't be a lot of them for very f**king long!

Well said Scuba Monkey. I couldn't have put it better myself.
