This illegal trade of shark fins
is totally brutal and horrifying.
Sharks are considered the top predators
in the oceans and have been around for hundreds of millions of years. What would the oceans be like without these animals? Certainly, they won't be around for long or they wouldn't be home to millions of aquatic lifeforms. Fishing them out of the oceans for their fins is simply brutal and intolerable to witness. And after the fins are removed, they are thrown back to the ocean only to die or be eaten by other animals because it's already impossible for them to swim around without the fins. It's high time to ban the sale and consumption of fins everywhere in the world especially here in Asia, and in the Philippines in particular, where there are restaurants in the big cities serving fin soups which they claim are very nutritious and can even cure cancer and other serious illnesses.
If that is how they harvest shark fins
in the ocean, I wouldn't mind not tasting shark fin soups all of my life. The harvest procedure is violent and brutal showing how unconscientious these harvesters are. To me, these guys are criminals. But maybe they don't know the value or role of sharks in the ecosystem. Sharks prey on the weak and sick aquatic animals keeping the healthy ones alive and reproduce more just like what the top land predators do. Also, populations of other marine species are prevented from becoming too populous when sharks are around. Don't be tempted to consume shark fins even when they say they're all delicious and nutritious. Let's all save the sharks if we want to keep the oceans till the end of the world.
