What is Shark Finning?
Shark finning is a gruesome practice that involves cutting LIVE shark's fins off and then sometimes throwing the de-finned sharks back into the ocean to die slowly and painfully. The fins are mostly used in china and hong kong as a key ingredient in the shark-fin soup.
Why is it a delicacy?
The fin-shark soup played an important role as an indicator of social standing. It has the consistency close to noodles but it has no flavor of nutritional value so people add chicken broth to make it taste like something. It was first created by an Emporer in the sun dynasty during the Chinese golden era. The dish was made to represent the wealth, power, and generosity of the Emporer.
How is Shak Finning impacting our oceans?
Sharks are the top predator in the ocean so if they get whipped out then the spices below them with overpopulating which will cause the next preorder on the list to die off until there is no more which will kill the spices below the sharks. This would continue until there would be no marine life in the ocean.
