This petition here is stop shark finning around the world. It is a cruel act done on a daily basis which consists of catching the shark, cutting off it's fins and more often then so, throwing it back into the water and leaving it to get either eaten, killed or left to die from starvation. Imagine, having your arms and legs removed brutally and just left for dead. This is what they're doing. All animals feel pain like any human, and it's not right, something needs to be done!

I have been spending my nights reviewing the heartbreaking footage of what these animals endure and it remains just as difficult to watch as the first time. Your comments remind me that we are not alone in feeling this deep sense of injustice. I am currently reaching out to marine conservation groups to see how we can move this fight beyond the screen.

Watching the signature count climb hurts because I know exactly how many sharks are suffering while we wait for people to wake up. We need to hit that next milestone before the cruelty continues for another day. Please send this link to people in your circle right now so we can stop this suffering together.
