Join me in the quest to stop Shark Finning. Ask President Barack Obama to call for a Global Ban on Shark Finning. The Poor sharks' fins are cut off, then the sharks are thrown back in the water, alive. Then, they sink to the bottom, and drown. Sharks are often misunderstood. They only attack us in self defense, or mistake. It is not the sharks that are invading our space, It is us who is invading theirs. PLEASE HELP ME STOP THIS!
Sir,
We, the undersigned ask you to place a global ban on shark finning.

Every year, an estimated 1 million sharks are cruelly killed.
Their fins are cut off, and then they are thrown back in the water, alive, soon to die of drowning. Imagine yourself as one of those sharks who are being finned. You get caught on a fishing hook. Then, you struggle to move free, only to make it worse. After a few hours, humans bring you and many others on board a ship. They cut off your fins, as you feel pain exploding through your body. Then, they throw you back in the ocean. You feel your self slowly drowning. Imagine if you were a shark in that situation.
