The difference is there's a tube stuck inside a live bear and it's extracted almost like how you extract maple syrup.

If you fall in an ocean surrounded by sharks, do you really think one of them is gonna say "stop eating humans! i am a big fan and refuse to eat them"? They'll just om nom nom nom you like pantywaste.
ever heard of humans limb soup? i havent... but im sure they have.

really?

I would like to have one in the fridge, then reheat it for 10 minutes :haha:

There are 2 types of shark fin soup...ones where you are pretty much just eating the broth/soup with a few strain of shark fins...you can change the fins to vermicelli or even take it out entirely and ppl wouldn't notice...
The other types is where you are actually eating the shark fin like a bowl of noodle....there is a big difference in texture and ppl can definitely tell if you are not using real shark fin. Soup they use in this is a lot thinner too. And of course it costs a lot more.

Not a fan of shark-fin, but then how it it really different from everything else we slaughter and eat?
- Chicken get their beaks cut off live
- Pigs raise in overcrowded facilities, being breed for the sole purpose to be slaughtered and never seeing daylight in their entire life.
- Lobster and seafood suffer weeks of hell during transportation before they are then boiled alive.
- Fishes are skinned and gutted alive (try imagine someone doing that to you)
- We waste thousands acre of lands and energy to raise small quantity of meat - lands and energy that could've been used to feed 10x more people by growing basic crops.

I can hear the veals and seals partying :haha:

Everyone one of those examples sure sounds a fuck of a lot better than having a shark's fins cut off, and thrown back into the ocean to rot alive, and needlessly killing thousands of other animals.

I'm the furthest thing you'll from from a PETA fuck face, but sometimes people (usually Asians for some reason) go too far when it comes to atrocious treatment of animals.

I sure would rather have my foot cut off and left to rot and die in a day from the loss of blood, instead of being trap in a stinky shithole for a few weeks and then be thrown into a pot of boiling water, or being skinned and gutted alive...

to each of their own i guess...

exceptible?

even a chink can spell better then you

wat a fucking joke

so let me get this straight. asians (chinese, japansese, korean etc etc.) are taking the fins of an endangered species just for the fins. which have no taste or anything. just for texture? LOL. wow thats fucked up!

^ i believe there are health benefits, just dont have time to google it up.

What i find even more cruel, is the type of sharks fin soup, where each person gets a bowl, and it has the whole fin intact in each bowl. Its the size of your hand , so they probably killed 1 young shark per bowl.

Whereas normally a huge sharks fin can be used to make many many big bowls for parties.

yeh,,, i think it'd do good if they translate it into CHINESE. and show it to people here in canada.


666th post..

Or....maybe we can think of something more ridiculous and call it a delicacy....

Like.....rabbit palm in soup....
or....deep fried pigeon wing of freedom....

=D

I dunno if I'm wierd, but I like fake shark fin soup better than real shark fin soup. I suspect it's the MSG overload.

Yeah, this is brutal.

You know what's also bad? Wings nights. Assuming the best case scenario (each chicken gives you 2 wings and 2 drumsticks), when you stuff your face and eat 32, that's still 8 chickens PER PERSON.

One of the main reasons why I'm a big fan of beef. Way less death per pound of food. :thumbsup:

And yeah, most people can't actually taste the shark fin itself. You couple probably replace half of it with gelatin and not know the difference. And yes, it's crazy cruel. (I'm Asian too)

^ lol wing nights, i did think about that too, but i guess there's an abundance of chicken and easy to breed like no tomorrow

Yeah but it's not like they toss the rest of the chicken away.

yeah, but I am pretty sure without the wings the chickens will DIE like the sharks

I prefer to be force fed for 2 weeks and then slaughtered

LOL wut? They don't cut the chicken's wings off and let them die, letting the rest of the carcass rot. Wtf is wrong with you people?

Comparing chicken, pork, cattle, etc, all which are grown by humans for food, with sharks, which are wild predators and an important part of the eco system, is pretty fucking stupid!

I am sure the veals and seals are partying somewhere too

They are!

X-Men : The shark hunter






http://www.dakbonsa.com/gnuboard4/da...r2_subcom3.jpg

i guess we shouldnt be cutting any trees either cause that's affecting the ecosystem.

saw the first 10mins of it...but wtf? it seems to be telling people sharks are not dangerous at all....well, I am sure sharks are not as dangerous or scary as the media and movies portray, but it is still a fucking dangerous animal because you never know when they will suddenly snap and take a chunk off you.

Reminds me of this discovery show:
some veteran shark enthusiast trying to show how sharks never take interest in human, then suddenly a shark took a bite on him and he almost lost his leg and life. All on camera.

Anyway, the show seems more like a make-up sensational movies more than an accurate documentary.

Wood is a necessity. Is shark fin soup a necessity you stupid fuck?
