Only 1% of non-profit donations go to ocean groups, so pony up and help because 80% of our planet is covered with oceans and they are the lifeblood of our ecosystem. They are dying - acidifying because eating animals causes 20% more global warming than all transportation - and we are overfishing, overtrawling, overdumping and overTAKING like the rapacious species we are - so eat a plant based diet for the next 20 years, and give your heart and the oceans a break. Also please sign my petitions against the Wisconsin black bear slaughter which just killed 4,585 black bears for dead possession (how sick to put a carcass in your living room as though you were proud of it) and most of them killed were BABIES born this year or last - killed over dogs and bait - shot out of their meager protection in trees to land wounded in a pack of dogs and stupid people killing them. I also have a petition up for democracy for wildlife WATCHERS who outnumber hunters 10 to one and have never taken their power to have a say in what happens to our wildlife so it is just a killing business. The petitions can be signed and NETWORKED at: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Help-Wisconsin-wildlife-by-Democracy-for-Wildlife-Lovers and http://www.thepetitionsite.com/3/Help-save-Wisconsin-baby-black-bears-and-their-families They cannot speak for themselves and humans have been apathetic far too long. PLEASE HELP!

The RUTHLESS EXPLOITATION of natural resources is an unmeasurable and INTOLERABLE CRIME against nature and in the end also against mankind. Shark finning is a MAJOR PART of that crime, motivated by the mean drive for monetary profit only, made possible and promoted by the global CAPITALISTIC TRADE SYSTEM. It's about time to SPEAK FOR NATURE and to use practical reason effectively to stop nature's DAILY HOLOCAUST executed by mankind on a massive scale. Let's act NOW!!!

Sharks are among the most endangered species on the planet, some having dwindled in numbers by up to 95% since the 1970's, and we must urgently act NOW to save them from extinction! I personally think that ALL killing of sharks, and especially shark finning, should be banned immediately and worldwide, since their use for food is ANYTHING BUT vital for human survival! We are the only species that is not satisfied by taking from nature what they need for their own survival, and for this reason I'm ashamed to call myself human.

Something needs to be done. Our governments need to realize that we really care about this issue and has to stop letting the black market rule their decisions to be lax about this criminal activity!

Sharks are so important for the oceans ecosystem and I am very angry with the fact that we humans are making the sharks extinct and shark finning is a big part of it. Shark finning is also very crual to the shark.
