It's disgusting and immoral.  They cut off the shark's fin and toss it back into the ocean while it's still alive.  DON'T EAT IT.

I've noticed that you didn't answer my question about why humans care so much.

I think perhaps it's because, as humans, we can extrapolate and empathize.  We know that pain is a bad thing (it hurts!) and we know that when we suffer injury ourselves, it is painful, therefore we can empathize with the shark and "feel it's pain" to some degree and feel that it is wrong to cause that pain.  Unless we are sociopathic (unable to empathize with others) - but that is a different topic.

I acknowledge that I am a carnivore - and I don't feel there is anything wrong with that, as long as the killing of my food is done humanely and with the least amount of pain possible.   I've had shark (many years ago, before it was recognized that some species are endangered) and it's pretty good - kind of like tuna.

I do find it curious  that some folks feel that it is okay to eat one species but not another.  I think it's mostly cultural preferences.

My dad is a really smart guy, and he's told me not to mess with nature.  We kill these sharks needlessly.  Shark fin soup isn't a need.  It's a really horrible want.  By killing these sharks, we are changing the future irreversibly.  These sharks won't have the babies they would have had, which means the seals or whatever that would've been eaten by the babies won't be, etc.

Well, what I'm saying is that killing one shark could drastically alter the future.  Read Ray Bradbury's A Sound Of Thunder.  That's what it's about.  Seriously.  Read it.  Really good short story.

By putting it into your mouth. It's all covered in soup, and it tastes like soft and chewy strings tied together, but with a delicious taste.

You've had shark fin? xD Wow, I've always wondered what it tastes like, although I don't really support the idea of killing a huge shark just to take its fin. Imagine how many sharks you need to kill to feed a full restaurant of people each day. Eek! >.o

Anyways, I agree with Paddle on this one. :3 You peeps like to be all logical and all, pretending that humans are the same as other animals in nature, but that's not true. ^^ Humans are too smart for that. As Charles Darwin said (if I recall it correctly), humans are different from animals in that they can empathize not only with members of their own species, but other living things as well.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Shark Fin's Soup is a popular delicacy in Singapore, where I live. It's delicious, especially with vinegar, thought it's very expensive. It's often served at wedding dinners.

Some people complain that the brutality of removing the fin(hacking it off then leaving the shark to bleed and starve to death in the sea) is immoral and refuse to eat or serve shark fin's soup, but to be honest, I care more about my tastebud's happiness than the shark.

Evil, completely evil.  hmm
In china, they eat MONKEY BRAINS.
And in someplace, they eat dogs.

And yeah, boiling lobsters alive is horrible. Humanity really kills animals in the worst ways.

Discuss.

I actually had shark meat before. IT SUCKED. It didn't taste like anything at all. Those stupid people are killing them for no reason whatsoever. Sharks belong in the depths of the ocean, not on a dinner plate, don't you think?

All animals need to eat to survive.  If it was wrong for humans to eat meat, then we would be herbivores, not omnivores.
