Thisfamous and expensive dish is especiallypopular in southern China. But do you realizethat youre killing a whole shark each timeyou enjoy a bowl of sharks fin soup?When people catch sharks, they cut off theirfins and throw the shark back into the ocean. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. This method is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the oceans ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years. Environmental protection groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of sharks fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that sharks fins are good for health, so why eat them?
