End "Finning" -- Save the Sharks!
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Ocean Conservancy
Sponsored by: Ocean Conservancy
The wasteful practice of finning -- slicing off a shark's valuable fins for soup and tossing the body back to sea -- must be stopped. The situation is grim for a growing number of shark populations who are in peril from overfishing and unsustainable finning -- we must do better.
The U.S. passed a national finning ban in 2000, but the practice continues and is still legal in many other nations. The demand for the fins -- which can sell for up to hundreds of dollars per pound -- remains high for shark fin soup, a delicacy.
The Shark Conservation Act of 2009 closes loopholes in the U.S. finning ban and can revitalize shark conservation efforts on a global scale. It must be passed without further delay. Please join us in sending a powerful message to your senators to end finning and save the sharks!

The sharks are very important to the ecosystems of the ocean and play a vital role in both the carbon system and the oxygen system since they are an apex (top of the foodchain) predator. More over the shark finning is very brutal as the shark get their fins cut off when they are still alive. If fo example we where to cut of the tail of a dog and left it to die it would be an outrage from people but that is what happens to the shark when shark finning takes place.

No matter what country or culture, it should be illegal for humans to attempt to destroy a species. There is no difference between harming or killing a Killer Whale and harming or killing a Shark. If sharks keep getting killed they will be an endangered species and soon die. Every being on this earth has a purpose. The sharks need to live. Our grandchildren may never see such a creature if we dont stop this!

The reason why it is important due to sharks are recyclers of the sea they eat sick and dead animals. Also they provide a natural way of curbing animal populations in the sea and are beautiful animals that deserve to live.

We all belong to this world and have the right to this world. Our sharks can not speak for themselves so we the people are doing it for them. I really think for they could speak, I dont think they would be telling us to kill them. So please lets banned together and help our sharks. Thank you so much for your support.
