Shark Fin Soup: Chinese delicacy or NZ disgrace?

???????????????????

 

Did you know that an estimated 73 million sharks are killed each year for their fins? In just 50 years, the worldwide shark population has been reduced by around 80% and several shark species are critically endangered.

????????????????????????????????50?????????????????????????????????

 

Sharks are older than the dinosaurs and are top of the ocean's food chain. By continuing to kill sharks, we are disrupting the equilibrium of the marine ecosystem, with unpredictable and dangerous consequences.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

Driving the shark slaughter is a dramatic upsurge in demand for shark fin soup. With its growing wealth and prosperity, China has overtaken Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, and now dominates the market for this traditional delicacy. Commercial fishing vessels, operating across the globe, can make far more money by harvesting just the fins than by landing and processing the entire shark.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

Shark finning means cutting off the fins and discarding the dismembere body. Often the mutilated shark is still alive when dumped at sea, where it will slowly bleed or starve to death, drown or be eaten alive by other fish.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

The practice of shark finning, dead or alive, is banned in most countries. Pacific nations that have outlawed shark finning include Taiwan (from this year), Fiji, French Polynesia, American Samoa, Australia, Chile, Canada and the United States.

In 2011, four West Coast U.S. states banned the sale, trade, possession and distribution of shark fins. New York City is likely to enact a trade ban very soon. In May 2012, a popular grocery store in New York, the Po Wing Hong Food Market, began phasing out shark fins.

Shark fin free campaigns are active in Asia, including Hong Kong (Hong Kong Shark Foundation), Taiwan (Fin Free Taipei), and Shanghai. Basketball star Yao Ming (??) pledged to stop eating shark fin soup in 2006 and continues to campaign against finning (see video clip in Chinese or English).

So, what about New Zealand, which has the sixth largest exclusive economic zone in the world?

????????????????????????????

 

To its shame, the NZ government still allows shark finning in our waters. Although the sharks are supposed to be killed first, live shark finning has been witnessed, reported and filmed. What could be more cruel and sickening?

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

But we really can do something about it! Later this year the New Zealand government will review its 2007 shark legislation. Shark Fin Free Auckland (SFFA), along with organisations such as Forest & Bird and the Green Party, is calling on the government to ban shark finning in our waters and to outlaw the trade in shark fin products.
