woo!! Just read from the Shark Truth FB page that:

Couples can send in their photo/video pledge to Stop the Soup. The entry with the most votes will win a trip to Mexico to swim with whale sharks - the biggest fish in the world!

OMG OMG I love whale sharks. They are beautiful and they don't bite. They live on plankton.

Do you guys know that part of the problem is about the rate they catch and kill the sharks? (cos they only take the fin, so one boat can hunt hundreds of shark vs less than 100) And how slow shark grows? Because of lack of regulation/re-enforcement, some boat even hunt in the ocean reserve area. So if "free" hunting is an option, do you think anyone (if that's even possible) would consider farming them?

Studying of shark is still limited and because of their scary image, it's harder to get funding to study and protect them. (vs Panda and dolphins)

Yes, I don't like how cruel they cut the fin and let the shark drown and die. But the problem is about how wasteful this fining process is. And catching rate vs shark growing and recover rate.
Think of sea turtles legs.... what if they suddenly becomes a popular cuisine.

If they can farm abalone without seriously damaging the enviornment, I don't mind having that at wedding banquet.

I think we have hunting restriction for that. But I am not sure how good is the re-enforcement done.

Why don't you tell the Japanese to stop eating bluefin tuna?

oh??? I thought people protesting about how we cut off their fins and throw them back to the ocea ...

it's both. cos if they take the whole shark back, they won't be killing so many sharks at a time and sharks won't be going extinct.

well according to the campaign, ppl can include receipts of donation to charity that protects sharks in the 人情. So that they won't be saving the 30% (not being cheap) but just making that as a statement against serving shark fin soup at wedding banquets.
