Shark’s fin trade faces extinction

Stephanie Lai | 02/01/2014 | Macau Business Daily

Macau sellers of shark’s fin have felt a sharp decline in business volume last year, amid pressure from environmentalists and Beijing’s drive against conspicuous consumption by officials.

“Even though we are in the peak season for seafood shopping, from November to January – a period in which people usually buy some shark’s fin for Chinese New Year – we now have only one or two customers buying shark’s fin per month,” she said.

I finally saw Blackfish, what was even more disturbing was the expert panel, led by Jack Hanna, that CNN put together.
