The chinese and the taiwanese are single handedly destroying the worlds oceans by ruthlessly destroying shark populations. For what you ask? All for their fins. They haul them up by the thousands per boat with illegal long line fishing methods, slice their fins off, then dump them back into the water to bleed to death. Its disgusting, its horrible, and it makes me ashamed to be a human. The killing of animals for useless "luxuries" like shark fin soup has to stop before we are left with nothing but a shell of the world in which used to exist before we started to mess around with it.
And I doubt that they eat the fins alone. Another example, sushi...it's popular world wide thanks to the Japanese. The fish population, especially tuna is being depleted in Asia, Europe and America. Yahoo news did a report on it two months ago.
I am not saying that this is not a problem, nor is the shark depleting population is not a problem, however, I doubt that the Chinese are killing shark for the fins alone and not using the rest of the meat.
There is a fine difference between talking about extinction due to depletion for consumption versus extinction due to just wanting to use an animal's body part for poaching.
Someone posted a page back a comic about rhino in Africa being killed for poaching. Yes, that is wrong. You kill a rhino for its husk, but you don't utilize the meat for food. Now if someone wants to kill a rhino for food and then use the husk for medicinal purposes...that is fine by me.
However, even with the poaching, I blame the African poachers not the Chinese herbalist. Poachers are creating the market. The Chinese are only buying a body part of an animal that has already lost its life by someone else.

Trent ate his cat and dog. The reason why he went to Chinatown in the first place...to get some more meat.
And tendoin my ass. If you look closely, that looks like deer teeth and upper palate connected to a long neck. That does not look like legs to me.
