Hello! Shark Soup anyone? Are you baffled? Well, this is not a joke, in a few countries, many people do eat Shark Fin Soup!
Sharks have been swimming in our oceans for 420 million years. When humans came around, they became a target. Fishermen hunt sharks for their fin’s high value. Ok, here’s the cruel part,fishermen catch the sharks, cut off their fins and drop the body back in the ocean! Like that’s the height of cruelty right there. The shark is later not able to swim and then dies of either the bleeding or being eaten by some other fish since they can’t defend themselves. In China, the “Shark Fin Soup” is a popular delicacy and is considered a sign of high status and wealth. It is now so much more popular for its value in terms of money. A single kilogram of shark fins can cost about $1,100! So this just makes fishermen catch more sharks and kill them for money. Another thing is that if the population of sharks is shaken even a little bit, the entire ecosystem could collapse. Approximately a 100 million sharks are killed each year and many species such as the Smooth Hammerheads are nearing extinction. Today shark populations have decreased by 60-70% due to human interference. Erasing shark-finning won’t be easy, but we can at least try and make an impact, that’s what this generation is for! Thanks for giving me time and reading this blog post. Be Safe and Have a Good One and I am out! Sorry if any mistakes have occurred or I sound rude. 😉 #BanSharkFinning #Ecosystem #SharksAreCool
