Shark-Finning
Friday, January 30, 2009 10:23 PMI am against the fact of banning shark fining. To my opinion, it is just a double edged sword. IF one was to impose a global ban on shark fining, if will adversely affect the economy.It would leave many of those who previously relied on shark fining jobless. Furthermore, many restaurants relies on the sales of shark's fin soup as its main income(shark's fin is good money after all).Even if banned, man will still find it way to obtain shark's fin from other sources such as the black market.Yes i can admit that demand will become lesser, but wouldn't this unwillingly promote the black market?People might also turn to other exotic food as sources of delicacy, wouldn't them too become extinct ?We cant escape the fact that if sharks goes extinct it would affect the food chain and then the Eco system,they top the food chain after all.Yes i we dun stop it now, things could snowball into a bigger problem. Ask yourselves, global warming is a huge problem too, are we doing anything to stop it? Shark's fin has also been a cultural delicacy since long ago.If we impose a worldwide ban, would there not be any protests, would it not be killing our own tradition ? The key to all these if moderation. If man can learn to control his consumption for shark's fin,the situation would be at ease.If man only eats shark's fin on special festive seasons and not on a daily basis, the sharks would be save. Sure we might see a slight decline in the economy but i m sure that would not leave a significant impact.If we do not take things to the extreme, that would be just fine. -Sunshine |
