Stop shark definning...

Stop shark definning...

Target:
To stop the pointless definning of millions of sharks...
Sponsored by: 
Millions of sharks a year have their fins removed and are thrown back into the sea for shark fin soup, a gelatinous, unflavored "delicacy" that contains dangerously high levels of mercury, as much as 42 times more than safe limits for humans. The practice of shark definning not only negatively effects sharks (Some species of sharks are nearly endangered because of this), but it also effects humans and interferes with the entire ocean ecosystem.

The main point of this petition is to prevent sharks from being slaughtered by having their fins knived off, and then being discarded into the sea to be eaten alive by sea creatures or painfully dying from loss of blood. This should not be legal.

Animals are an essential part of life; they bring joy, inspiration, they are truly the only beings that show unconditional love. Animals have more soul than most humans I know! That is why I am signing this petition, no being should ever suffer like this. It is not acceptable and it needs to be known. No one deserves to be treated in such a manner!
