Guangzhou once the prime location
for shark fin, and China’s one of the most expensive delicacies will be out soon
as officials on banquet and tables and other celebrity campaign to ban shark
fins.
One storekeeper at Shanhaicheng quietly
ate his lunch at desk, sided by four glum colleagues and a giant white sack of overflowing
thousands of dollars’ worth of unsold shark fins. A woman on the next stall fiddled
with her phone, with plastic bags of yellow fins untouched on the shelves
behind her.
“Animal rights and environmental groups
campaigned for decades against the consumption of the shark fin, China’s demands
for delicacy have decimated the world’s shark population and its method to
obtain those fins was inhumane.”
The fins were sliced off while of
the sharks while they are still alive before they will be thrown back in the
ocean to die. China devours more shark fin compared to any other country in the
world.
Major airlines and hotel chains
in the region already banned dishes with shark fins, the demand reduction were effective.
More people learn about the cost of eating those shark fin soup.
