Re: Gordon Ramsay tries Sharks fin soup. Verdict: tasteless
I am not for the killings of sharks for the fins, but I will not turn away shark fin soup during any wedding dinner.
At least I am not pretending to show shark-conscience and then try to impress my friends on Facebook with photos of foie gras tasted from an upmarket restaurant, or lament that baby sharks are so cute but chew crispy pieces of roasted suckling pigs, or talk about animal cruelty but insist on eating live fish and fresh sashimi or even watch the part of the fish swimming while eating its flesh.....
It is always the "Chinese" thingy when it comes to food that faces objection, be it turtle soup or sharks'fins.
I am confused by what is to be eaten and what not, by some of these "critics."For instance, why are game animals edible? Kangaroos, deers, wild boars and even ostrich? We do not have enuff beef?
No one complains about foie gras.

Re: Gordon Ramsay tries Sharks fin soup. Verdict: tasteless
agreed on the wastage of the rest of the shark meat.... but animal cruelty? no..
why we can kill chickens and cows but not sharks ? yes they are endagered species and probably should let them reproduce before killing them... but to totally stop eating them because its ' wrong ' ??
self righteous douche... who is just doing this for the attention and even more fame..publicity stunt

Maybe its the way the fins are harvested or the killing of endangered species.

Well if one is to eat meat, then you must kill for it. But we have a choice to be responsible. This includes eating something that is not endangered, doesnt involve cruel rearing or killing practices, and everything else is probably okay. Killing animals for anything other than food is not correct either; fur, tusks, bile, etc.
So I do not agree with killing sharks. We have many other sea creatures to eat. Why kill something that is getting endangered? Human beings have already done much harm to the earth.
In the same light, tuna that is irresponsibly caught, chicken cruelly reared, should all stop too.
I guess we can choose when we have the correct facts. When the buying stops the killing can too, is actually quite true, simple demand and supply.
Now, on a totally different light, what's the argument about wedding dinner sharks fin. The persons who do the ordering of the dish (the killing) is actually the marrying couple. Even if you dont eat it, it's already ordered and the demand already registered. Even if you have a 100% boycott at your wedding, it's only probably going to work if you get married again, as it doesnt affect other wedding couples. To be responsible, couples shouldnt order it in the first place, and restaurants shouldnt even serve it in the first place, including your fois gras, et al.
So, in order not to waste the death of the sharks, I still eat. Like Kenntona. hehehe
