Congratulations to California and Oregon for banning Shark Fin Soup -
As a nation do we need to hunt a species, cut off its fin, and throw it back in the water to drown, be eaten by other fish, and eventually die for no more than a piece of its body? Of course not. But we do. And thank you to California's governor who signed a bill this month outlawing this soup due to the way it's harvested and the declining population of sharks.
Sharks play an important part of our eco system, keeping under control the larger fish that prey on smaller fish. All of our earth is a balance and mother nature placed each of these creatures here for a specific reason.
The way we are treating sharks today is similar to the settlers when they shot so many Buffalo that they almost caused that breed to go extinct. Here we are, hundreds of years later, and still doing the same thing.
Write to your senator, your representative, your governor. Tell them that Shark Fin Soup belongs on only one menu - the one that has gone extinct -
Here's a list of restaurants who, until they take shark fin soup off their menu, you should take them off yours:http://www.stopsharkfinning.net/boycott.htm_
