The practice of finning has been illegal in the U.S. since 2002, but the importation and sale of the fins is still legal. "Finning", defined as removing the fins from a shark and discarding the remainder of the shark at sea, has developed to keep up with the demand of shark fin soup. It is a brutal, wasteful, and criminal practice that takes place across the world's oceans.
By allowing the sale of shark fins locally, we are inadvertently supporting shark finning, an industry that is already responsible for the demise of some species by 80 - 90%, and wastes up to 98% of the animal. Sharks are a critical component of the ocean's sensitive food webs and they are essential in keeping a balanced and healthy marine ecosystem.
