Whose blood is that in your soup bowl

An estimated 73 million sharks are killed every year to meet the big demand for shark-fin soup a delicacy in China, Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as Chinese restaurants around the world. Shark based products dry fins, fin rays and bones are in great demand all over China, Singapore and Hong Kong. But what makes the fin soup all the more repulsive is the cruel practice called ‘shark finning.’ The fins of living sharks are cut off, and the body is thrown back into the ocean for the Shark to die in pain.
