Shark Fin Soup. A cruel meal. Fisherman will catch sharks, cut off their fins, and throw them back into the water to die just for their fins to create this soup. They do not even use the rest of the meat. Sharks are the top predetors of the ocean. Right underneath the Killer Whale they are at the top of the Ocean Food Chain. They have been surviving in this world before the dinosaurs. That's 380 million yrs. But if we continue to kill them at the rate we do they will soon become extinct. We kill about 100 million sharks each yr. We need sharks. If they go extinct the ocean will soon die and we need the ocean to survive. 80% of our oxygen comes from the ocean. If the sharks die we will die. If we save these sharks we are helping save our own species. This Petition is targeted to at least one Restaurant. But I will send these signitures off to other Restaurants that sell shark fin soup.

We the undersigned are very upset about one of the dishes on your menu. Shark Fin Soup. We find this soup cruel and wrong. It's slaughter. Slaughter for no good purpose. We do not think that there is any good purpose for having this Soup on your menu. Profit is not a good enough reason to help lead sharks into extinction. By selling this soup you are supporting the death of these amazing creatures. And by supporting this act of cruetly you are supporting the death of our own species. Sharks are one of the Oceans top predetors. If these creatures die than the rest of the ocean dies with them. And we need the ocean for many things. If we lose the ocean we will not surive. We the undersigned are strongly against Shark Fin Soup. We ask you politely to take it off your menu. Please consider our views and opinions. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We hope that you will come to understand and realize the mistake you are making.

Stop this nonsense of consuming Shark fins or I will spend the rest of my life letting the public know how many laws are never enforced - in all levels of government.

shark fin is tasteless and the shark-fin-soup is flavoured from chicken pieces.nonetheless,eating non vegitarian food is a cruelty to earth.when i came to know that it takes an astoundind 17kg of grain to make 1 kg of beef, i too turned a vegetarian.
on the top of it, sharks are not like cows or chickens that can be bred.current estimates say that at the current rate,shark will be extinct from the planet in less than 15 years.it will be then be a loss of job for shark poachers,and that day the poachers will target yet another species.can we afford it?
so, loss of job for poachers is anyhow going to happen one day or the other.why not stop it today and save a species from getting extinct?
we,the people can make a difference......

If we must be part of the food chain, can we not harvest with compassion and conservation? Any other choice is lazy, cruel, and potentially environmentally devastating.

The key word in "humane" is human", but after hearing about cruelty like this, I think we need another name for ourselves. Cutting off a shark's fins and leaving the poor fish to die is one of the FURTHEST things from "human" as far as I'm concerned.
Please consider really being humane and stop the slaughter.

Please consider being humane and stop killing these sharks. Are we too food orientated to care about where it originates? What if cannibals were allowed to roam? Where would your interests be directed? So comparatively speaking give ot some thought and stop Shark Fin Soup. It is a cruel and unneeded act.

In a few years many shark species may become instinct if action is not taken. Many shark species have fallen over 90% WE HAVE TO STOP THIS!!!

sharks are harmless.
and only 5 people a year die from sharks.
just because there are disgusting
and poor third world countries who need money,
doesnt mean they're allowed to kill these animals for a resource.
their governments are corrupt and need to stop this

I love THe ocean And everything in it. I do live far from the water but i have a passion for the ocean and keeping the marine life safe. No matter whre in the world this is going on it is illogical. I do have a fear of sharks, but i love the ocen and i dont want one of its most important animals gioing extinct or going to waste. these fish should be protected and they definitaly dont deserve this crule and unusual punishment.

I think the fishermen that are guilty of this inhumane act should be bound from head to toe and tossed into the ocean to be left to drown with no chance to swim to the top for air as the the shark swim around them laughing!

The shark fin industry is horrendously inhumane. Each day, more and more restaurant-goers are refusing to support businesses tarnished by the blood of innocent sharks. Thus ceasing to offer shark fin soup is not only the right decision, but the profitable one. Thank you for your time & consideration.
