i can't stand seeing finning, and hope it gets stopped all over. it's a disgusting practice...and that's coming from someone who watches whale wars for the laughs (i think paul watson and his crew are the most inept boatsmen since gilligans island).
i've always loved (loved may sound odd, but i can't think of anything else that would describe it) sharks. great white's are without a doubt one of the most amazing animals ever. i hope to go out to cali, and go down in the shark cage and see them face to face. i can just imagine the adrenaline rush.
i've seen footage of finning-ugh. cut off the fins, and toss the living, and soon to be drowned shark back in. it's hideous. what a waste of a shark!! and all because some nimrods think it's an aphrodisiac. sharks by the thousands, killed. not for their meat-but for a couple pounds of fins. outrageous.
