why are there countless examples of fin&toss as the norm not the exception?
instead of talking shit and making a poor attempt to make political connections put up some of this "sustainable" shark finning you speak of.

Take it easy there tiger...remember it's those damn asians were talking about here...they waste nothing! I'm sure the head and eyeballs make good soup too! And I'm sure shark meat is a good substitue for viagra...

brother.... it's not just those damn fill in the blank it's what cannot be controlled/patrolled/sustained/....in them dem int'l waters.
look into longlineing, shark finning, aquarium exotic spe....you get the picture....it's up to us environmetalists...ooops i meant fishers/hunters/landkeepers and protectors of the gamelands we ALL wish to feed from.

it would kind of seem that "greenies" who wish to preserve the envoriment and those that seek it's bounty would read the same pages, yet not only a separate book they read, but a separate library they visit.

Redeye, the greenies you speak of now only want to preserve the wildlife for itself. They dont believe we are part of the natural food chain. The reason you only see dramatic footage is because that is what sells, and sells their causes to corporate backing. I know that I would not really be interested in watching a shark processing video (unless I was getting ready to process my own).

The big issue here was the complete waste of a resource when only a little part (fins) are used. If a group of people want to eat shark, let them. As long as this is not an endangered species. If they want to eat German shepards, I'll help them season it.

As soon as you start distinguishing your "choice" of which animals are OK to eat and which are not you put your self into a very difficult argument. Take the 1billion Indians (Asia) who think that cows should not be eaten. Wanna talk about choices.......try selling horse sausage in California(by the way it's delicious)


To the idiots that waste resources, anywhere in the world, Get a stinking clue!

And we wonder why sharks attack people...

i suppose there is some dramatization on part of the "greenies"...but from my perspective the environment is an issue many sides can come together on: whether it's cause you enjoy pristine trails and streams to hike and fish or clean oceans to surf or hunt we have to make sure these resources are around for generations to come.

pm if ever in the area and wanna discuss more/toss line/ grab a cold one...first rounds on me!
