One small victory. We CAN make a difference.

One of the things I’ve been supporting recently is the movement to ban shark fin soup.
I know a lot of you are probably saying, who cares about sharks?
Sharks actually play a large part in keeping a healthy marine environment.
The problem with shark fining is, the fins are cut off of a live shark and then the animal is just dumped overboard to drown.

We had a small campaign to stop Loblaw’s from selling Shark Fin Soup and once they realized there was a problem with shark fishing practices, they actually pulled the product from the shelves and vowed to stop selling it. Here’s the article from the Toronto Sun/Canoe, http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2009/01/29/8185661-cp.html

I urge you all to see the movie Sharkwater. It changed my life, maybe it can change your’s too. http://www.sharkwater.com/
