What is it?
Shark finning is when people catch the shark and they cut the fins off and throw them back into the ocean, when they do this the shark are still alive and they die a slow and painful death. This happen because in China and Hong Kong the shark fins are used in a soup dish that is cost 100US the soup was eaten because it was delicacy meal. They added other flavor because the shark fin taste like nothing so there is no point in them killing the shark and taking its fins. Every hour 30,000 sharks are killed by humans when only 10 people are killed a year this dish is also 1,000 years old.
Why is it a delicacy?
It is consider a delicacy because it was first made by an emperor in the sung dynasty (AD 968) this was known as the golden era in chinese history. This dish was created as a sign of the emperor's wealth, power, and generosity.
How is this impacting our oceans?
This impacts the oceans because when the sharks go extinct it will effect the food chain by a lot of people let this happen when they go other marine life will slowly die off. After along time the ocean will be empty which will be bad for us because some of them have toxin
