This is a movement to ban shark fins in Buffalo,NY. I hope to make Buffalo the first city in NY state to ban shark fins. Please help me by signing this petition and tell our government we will not stand for shark fins to be allowed in our community. Also, if you are an organization or school and would like to set up a showing of the award winning documentary "SHARKWATER" please contact me asap.
Shark fins are starting to be banned all over the country and even the world, even our nearby sister city Toronto is currently working on banning shark fins....will you help Buffalo be a part of the solution?
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS,COWORKERS,FAMILY AND KIDS TO SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION AND WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!
This is no longer just about saving sharks, its about saving humanity.
Thanks,
FIN FREE BUFFALO!!!
WHEREAS 75 million sharks are slaughtered world wide at a rate of over 70 million per year, experts agreeing that sharks could be extinct within 10 to 20 years at the current rate of slaughter. WHEREAS shark finning is a wasteful, inhumane practice that involves cutting off a shark's fins and then tossing the still-alive shark back overboard to drown, bleed to death, or to be eaten alive by other animals. WHEREAS shark fins are considered a delicacy in some restaurants they have no significant nutritional value and are considered unhealthy for human consumption due to the accumulation of high levels of mercury and other toxins in fins and flesh. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED we the undersigned ask Meyor Byron Brown and other city councel members to move towards banning the possession, sale and consumption of shark fins in Buffalo,NY.
