Is Shark Fin Soup a meal of the past? With the shark conservation movement gaining a larger platform through social media services you would think that of Shark Fin Soup is a meal of the past in the United States. Unfortunately, it is not a meal of the past quite like you would think.
The Animal Welfare Institute says that as many as 200 restaurants throughout the United States serve Shark Fin Soup. 200!! Landlocked states like Arizona have at least four restaurants that serve Shark Fin Soup. There are only 12 states in the United States that ban the sale of Shark Fin Soup. The United States needs to be better!
I urge you to stop going to these restaurants and write to their owners to encourage removing Shark Fin Soup from their menus. Write letters to governors, mayors, and other local legislators to ban the sale of Shark Fin Soup in your state!
Shark Fin Soup has caused, and is continuing to cause, dangerous imbalances in marine communities worldwide.
