What is shark finning?
Shark finning is the practice of slicing off the shark’s fins while the shark is still alive and throwing the rest of its body back into the ocean where it can take days to die what must be an agonising death. Some sharks starve to death, others are slowly eaten by other fish, and some drown, because sharks need to keep moving to force water through their gills for oxygen.
Why does shark finning happen?
After the fins are removed they are then used for products such as shark fin soup. Shark finning has been banned in many countries but some still do it..
Who still does it?
Probably Spain(that’s not nice) is the largest supplier of shark fins producing 2000 and 5000 metric tons a year! Other countries that still do shark finning are the Netherlands, Costa Rica, Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, UAE, And yes USA does produce some shark fins.
What Types of Sharks get Finned?
Blacktip, Blue, Bull, Hammerhead, Porbeagle, Mako, Sandbar, Thresher, Tiger, Hammerhead, Basking, Mackerel ,Whale and White sharks are known to be finned..
Near half of those are close to being extinct.... Hammerhead sharks, Basking sharks, Mackerel sharks and Whale sharks are all nearly extinct
