Gday people, im sure all of you know what the picture below shows.
Its a bowl of sharksfin soup.A delicacy for the Chinese and now
famous in other countries as well.
Im sure many of you have tried this dish and found it to be
either 'eyucks!' , 'alright..' or perhaps 'good lord this is delicious!'
As for me , i find it to be just alright.There's not much too it
actually.Just some chicken stock, maybe sea cucumber and sharks fin.
Sharks fin.
This delicacy is in high demand and to keep up, the supply rises too.
This means tens of millions of sharks are killed EVERY year.
These sharks get caught in nets and hooks and are unable to escape.
When they are brought on board, their fins are cut while they are still alive and breathing.
Then mercilessly, their bodies dumped back in the ocean without their damn fins.
They eventually sink to the bottom awaiting to be eaten by other animals.
This process in called finning.
Because the sharks themselves are worth nothing without the fins , the fishermen

Because the sharks themselves are worth nothing without the fins , the fishermen
dispose of them to save loading space .
8000 tonnes of sharksfin are distributed around the world.
