i think chunsh is trying to say tht dont just single out saying chinese is bad coz weeat shark fins...there are other things going on just as bad and we should be more aware of it

I recommend watching Food Inc to get some point of views of our food consumption. It should come to Vancouver on July 10.
Starving ourselves or destroying every living organism in sight are extreme actions. Finding middle ground is what most people do.
Each of us has a choice as to what we want to do. There is no right or wrong answer to survival with the different beliefs out there encouraged by liberty. If you want, instead of following what most of the society does for its typical style of living, take some time to think about why we do what we do.
Environment shapes us to into who we are as a group, but there are individual differences from the different paths we take.

chunsh, be calm. If you have watched the film you will know the it's not about morality. But I respect what you say as you may haven't watched it yet.

Although i stopped eating shark fin for a long time.... (yes I refuse politely even in wedding banquets) I didn't feel ashame until I watched the film. siumaibb, I can totally feel why you say 直頭愧為中國人. Ignore what others say, just do your part. Ashame or not, it's a feeling. No one here or else where can judge right or wrong. Also agree on what alee said, finding middle ground.

i think all human are savages XD.. we just claim that we're civilized.....
i feel bad and can't really eat if i watch something from alive to dead~ like crabs and fish..
but i don't think about it when i see it on the table already served~
either way~ that plate of food experienced death...
it's just that i am coward and not think about it when i don't see it

exactly!!!
why bother??
if someone think just taking the shark fin and leave the sharks are too cruel, someone should speak out loud we should consume the whole shark. Like making fishballs with the meat, making chinese soup with the shark bones.........

about endanger species problem, if they are really in the problem of extinction, someone in the near future will suggest and develop ways to keep them just like other livestocks.

u got my point

chunsh, 你可唔可以睇左套戲先，最好再睇埋 Food Inc。
你無同情心我唔怪你，但係人類濫殺動物然後再浪費最終受害既都係自己。

如果我話愧為中國人踩親你條尾，Sorry，咁唔包括你啦，OK，但係我真心有咁既感覺，魚翅係無味，營養價值亦唔高，食佢係純為虛榮心。

anyways, 你有時間睇左套戲先，如果你睇完都仲覺得食魚翅係ok既，我諗我地都無討論既餘地。

u eat pork, beef and lamb, right?
do u like to see how do a bunch of sheeps being slaughter?
did u ever eat baby pigeons (not only chinese eat them, from a TV show, a high class restaurant in europe also has a famous dish made with baby pigeons), baby pigs. You know what? they are just simply cute when they are alive! Do u like to watch how does a baby pigeon / pig being picked away from their moms and being roasted?

someone is right, we are human, and we are savage.  Stop eating shark-fin will not make u any superior nor save the earth from 溫室 effect.  But u know what? stop eating beef can make a bigger diff (I am still eating them often, and I think many other human races do too. So strange that no人道主義者 come out and yell about this).

why screw myself if I still want to have them on my dining table?

I believe Chinese is the biggest consumer who eat shark's fin as part of their culture. I don't think it's a problem for a Chinese to feel shame for that even he/she might doesn't eat shark's fin at all. Other people do wrongful things and don't feel shame, doesn't mean we cannot feel shame. Not feeling shame doesn't make the matter from wrong to right.

Before I watched this movie, I've been trying to avoid eating shark's fin in these recent years already. After watching it, I have a much stronger will to stop eating it, no matter in what kind of situations, even in my friends' wedding banquets. Honestly, why shark's fin soup would be a must for Chinese wedding banquet? All because of it's symbolic to rich? Then new couples can simply give out $500 red pocket to each guest as favor, that's true 有氣派.  

Of course my personal feeling and act won't affect other shark's fin eaters, and actually everyone can has their own choice and preference that I have totally no right to interfere.
