Correa lifts ban on sale of shark fins

Madam

I feel I must complain in the strongest terms possible about the decision by your president to allow the killing of sharks for just their fins. I realise that as a small country you need to generate income, particularly foreign reserve, wherever possible but I would ask you to look here and use the whole fish not just the fins

Sincerely

etc etc


sorry coat on

I can't see why the sharks would need fins in the first place? Those bad boys go like the wind without fins - giving them fins is like sticking two fingers up at all the slow pathetic fish.

If they insist on having them - at least make sure they're those pink Tusa jobs just to camp them up a bit and teach them a lesson for being so greedy.

Like its not enough being THE Apex Predator as it is - now they're just laughing at their fellow ocean users.

This is the thin end of the wedge - mark my words - it'll be snorkels and Suunto's next.

Then it'll be DIR sharks shunning the sea and wanting to do endless ascent drills in Vobster and savaging bathers in "team formation".

Better nip it in the bud now I reckon....
