Sharks have long been feared for their really sharp teeth. Although that is enough to keep most people away from those
animals, one part of them that has been received with open arms is their fins. The Chinese eat it in the way of a soup, which they
say has many things that are good for people’s health. The dish has even grown to become a sign of wealth and class for them.
For many others, shark fin soup is mean and not needed. The reason for that is how the shark fin is taken. It is called
shark-finning, and it cuts the fins off living sharks before throwing them back into the ocean. There, they not only lose blood
and die, but they also become food for other sea animals. Shark-finning is threatening the sharks and the oceans because the
animals grow slowly and some types are already dying off. Millions of these sea animals die every year, which throws
everything off balance.
Lucky for us, governments across the planet have taken action to try to fix this problem. In 2000, the USA made
shark-finning illegal. Also, Palau, the Maldives, and the Bahamas have set up natural places that are safe for sharks. Thanks to
those actions and others, people have become more aware. More people who are getting married don’t have shark fin soup at
their weddings. Also, some restaurants have taken the dish off their menus.
