I just wanted to say thank you for caring about sharks. With the help of people like you we can make 2008 a better year for sharks.
"Shark finning" is when fishermen cut off the fins of the shark and throw the live animal back into the ocean in order to save space on the boat. The shark drowns or bleeds to death on the ocean floor. Shark fins can sell for over $300 per pound due to the demand for shark fin soup, an Asian "delicacy". Some species of shark populations have plumetted by up to 99% in the last 20 years and are in grave danger of becoming extinct, due mainly to the practice of finning.
HERE ARE 6 THINGS YOU DO TO HELP STOP SHARK FINNING:
1. Don't eat shark fin soup! Don't eat in restaurants that serve it.
2. Support organisations that are fighting to save marine wildlife such as Sea Shepherd and Wild Aid.
3. Visit StopSharkFinning.net and take part in the campaigns. Post the banner for StopSharkFinning.net on your page or website.
4. Put my profile in your Top Friends! Or even better, create your own profile.
