Stop Shark Finning

A few words from our marine biologist about the cruelty of shark finning.
Every year, between 63 and 273 million sharks die as a result of human activity.
Sharks are hunted worldwide, primarily because of their fins. These are eaten especially in the Asian region as shark fin soup.
The fins are often caught in a cruel way by “finning”. Finning means that the sharks’ fins are cut off alive!!
The animals are then thrown overboard because their meat is almost worthless compared to the fins. Without fins the sharks sink to the seabed where they suffocate, bleed to death or are eaten alive.
Approximately 2.600 votes per day are needed to reach the goal, end the trade with shark fins in Europe! It's time for Europe to act!
