WWF-HK starts a shark fin campaign

WWF Hong Kong has launched a shark fin campaign on the 3rd December, aimed at highlighting the
  1. Most shark fisheries are poorly managed and unsustainable.
  2. Huge wastage, 90-95% of the shark is disposed of after the fins are cut off.
  3. 20% of the 546 shark species on the IUCN redlist are threatened with extinction.

Consumers should stop eating shark fin and restaurants should stop selling it.
