Har fått följande mail. Det har inte direkt med akvaristik att göra, men jag tänkte ändå att många av er kunde vara intresserade:
It's too barbaric to imagine, but it happens everyday.
Fishermen catch a shark, slice off its fins, and cast it
back into the water to bleed a slow, painful death. What's
worse, this practice has accelerated in recent years,
driven by increased demand for shark fin soup in Asia,
where it's considered a delicacy. But you can help:
http://www.care2.com/go/z/19550
Shark finning is pushing the species dangerously close to
extinction, with shark numbers down roughly 90% since the
1950s. But the oceans cannot thrive without predator
species. Indeed, sharks play a critical role in maintaining
the health of our marine ecosystems.
But there's reason for hope. Last month, the 63 nations
that comprise the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) approved a binding
U.S. proposal to ban shark finning in the Atlantic Ocean
and Mediterranean Sea. This is a big step forward, as it's
the first time there has been a multilateral effort to ban
this cruel practice on the open seas.
We must not lose momentum! Urge U.S. officials to pursue
a global ban on shark finning and an end to this barbaric
practice once and for all.
