Banning Shark Fin Soup

[Jimbo]

Those who say that banning shark fin soup is "an attack on Asian culture" are full of ****. It would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic. Shark fin soup is NOT an essential part of anyone's diet. It's a novelty item. The very essential role that sharks play in the oceans far outweighs anybody's right to kill even one in such a cruel and wasteful manner. It's not about culture, it's about greed, pure and simple. It's a lack of consideration for anything but their own bottom line. If banning all shark fin soup interferes with someone's right to profit from it or eat it, well that's too **** bad.
