The global ban on shark finning is officially happening and I am truly overwhelmed by this outcome. Seeing the cruel practice finally end means everything to me after watching these beautiful creatures suffer for so long. Stay vigilant to ensure these new protections are actually enforced on the water.
Shark finning is what is known as the removal of shark fins, and discard at sea of the rest of the body. This takes place at sea, where fisherman only have to transport the fins, which come to be the most valuable part of the shark. This petition is made to stop people from shark finning, and ban it throughout the world.
I spent all morning reading your stories about why this matters so much to you and it reminded me why I started this fight in the first place. The brutal reality of these practices is far worse than most people realize even though they look away from what is happening in our oceans. We are continuing to push for real policy changes while keeping the pressure on those who benefit from this cruelty.

Seeing this momentum grow reminds me of the first time I saw a shark in the wild and realized how much we are losing. Your support proves that people everywhere care about these creatures as much as I do.

This is completely barbaric. How can people be so heartless to these poor animals just for a bowl of soup? Stop it now.
