Stop Killing the Sharks
 

seriously stop eating shark fin soup!!!

i've been a fan of sharks since i was young and have refused to try shark fin soup b/c of what the sharks go through. shark are fished by boats towing long lines, fishing line as long as 60 miles and can be dragged for hundreds of miles just to have their fins cut and then tossed back into the water to die. these lines also catch a hell of a lot of other stuff all of which dies for no reason. imagin laying 60 miles of bear traps through a forest catching 50 bears 50 dear and 100 other creatures. that would never be allowed, so why is long lining?


-17 countires have banned shark finning, canada is NOT one of them. canadian waters are home to as many as 18 different species of shark.
-did you know shark fin is tastless and used for texture only and then flavoured with pork or chicken stock?
-the mith is that eating shark fin will keep you healty and bring you luck because "sharks don't get sick", but sharks are known to die of cancer and are more toxic now then ever before b/c of the large amounts of mercury and other toxins we are dumping into the ocean.
-shark fin soup has grown in popularity ten fold in the last 20 years b/c more and more people are taking sharks for granted and shark fin soup has become a staple at asian weddings.
-did you know they cut all the fins off a shark and then toss them back into the water where they survive hours and sometimes days...
-and this isn't some bs peta crap. i'm no vegetarian but seriously no one is doing anything about the declining shark population. it's not like a cow ehere there are millions being bread every year for the purpose of having a burger or a steak.

if you have 1 hour 20 mins whatch this movie. it's called sharkwater its about sharks, their declining numbers, and the finning of sharks. you can dl the torrent here:

Shark fin soup fuckin' rocks. I agree, though... Stop eating shark fin soup! More for me!!!

Go work for Peta, bitch.

He has a point. Shark Finning is pretty wasteful.

spell check?

This has been brought up so many times. You can impose bans, laws, but at the end of the day, it's part of a long standing culture delicacy and no one will stop until there aren't any sharks left to harvest from. Human nature.

Repost, but here goes.. :)

all this time i didn't know this is what shark fin soup looked like, i just ate it...
all i have to say is meh. i don't even like this stuff

lol
i like shark fin soup
nom nom nom

just watch shark water no matter how much you love to eat it if you have any feeling or compassion at all you mind will be changed for good!!

Imma go try me some shark fin soup...sounds good...maybe we should start eating more shark burgers so we don't waste the corpses.

I've had shark fin soup on countless occasions and yes it is the most wasteful/offensive food out there. The remaining 99% of the shark is completely wasted. It doesn't really add much flavour either.

I know i sound hypocritical cause I do have it quite often, but only because whoever I'm going to dinner with orders it.

Whats so great about sharks...ever seen jaws...they'll fuck ya up...human fetus is far more "offensive".....

i'd eat the steam cells....just putting it out there

I m not going to go out of my way and stop people. But if they started using more of the shark and made it illegal to over fish I'd be like: "Cool" :thumbsup:

if it was properly regulated like crab fishing, with quotas and strick penalties, then go for it but the way it's done right now is pretty damn bad.

i mean i posted this knowing this was revscene. but i'm sure there will be a few interested people who will dl and watch the vid. i mean it's damn entertaining, it's not one of those youtube vids of those slaughter houses draining the blood from cows. this vid is about sharks and has a part about the mass killing going on.

Don't tell me what to do, you're not my real father!

can you be sure???

Delete.

The killing of sharks is part of the reason why the giant octopus are taking over the water as their natural predators (the sharks) are gone.

Having said that, I just had a bowl of shark fin soup a couple days ago.

Isn't posting a torrent bannable on RS anyways? If you cared so much about the sharks, why didn't you purchase the DVD LOL.

If you don't want me to eat shark fin, why don't you pay me not to eat it? Then we both win.

Same along with Abalone and many other seafoods :)

Yeah I had sum sharp fin soop last 2 weddings ago

You sir are an uneducated idiot. Seriously, instead of me ranting on how stupid you are, just watch the film the OP recommended. Biased or not, you can learn a little and maybe you won't spew out information about sharks that is completely false.

After you watch that film. Go for a drive near Singapore. :D You'll see mountains of Shark bones

i love shark fin soup

i love shark fin soup...so good
