Shark Fin Soup Should Be Illegal...
Shark fin soup consists of a soup that has shark fin in it. They cut the fins off of sharks and through them back into the ocean. More than 90% of the population of sharks has disappeared and they are largely indangered. Several areas that are populated sharks illegally kill and massacure hudreds of sharks. Imagine a whale shark being pulled onto a boat, fins cut and shoved over board to drown and slowly bleed to death...in pain. And all for what? A bowl of soup?

I have no problem with people eating sharks generally until it becomes an issue of cruelty or an issue affecting endangered species and I think this one does both.

I have never had any and since you put it that way, I never will.

Well, there's one way to vote: Simply do not buy this soup. Try to sell MouseTail soup and you'll see the restaurant closing on you. :)

Shark is a fish sold in fish markets. If they get the fins from caught food fish, that does not seem cruel. But if they just cut the fins off and throw the fish back, that's TERRIBLE, and it should be illegal.

 well since sharks are highly indangered it is almost impossible to fish for them..and since many governments like in cuba are a part of the organization they are still being hunted..
