The Disney's Hong Kong Shark-fin Soup Fiasco Makes Global Headlines...

And the headlines are actually a good thing for the sharks since it raises the issue among news organizations and people that care about the earth we live on. The story on this barbaric habit makes Yahoo news service seen by millions.
In 2004, more than 250 shark species were listed on the World Conservation Union's Red List of threatened creatures. Since 1986, nearly all recorded shark species have declined by more than 50 percent.

The fins are usually hacked off while the fish is still alive and the rest of it is tossed back into the sea to die.

I can eat almost anything but shark-fin soup tastes disgusting and risks a catastrophe for global shark populations. What do you think of all of this Hong Kong Tourist Association?
