i was wondering about this topic, however, i am kinda neutral about shark fins though.

Face it... we're carnivorous.

Sharks eat humans, humans eat shark fins. Eh, what to do?

Why specifically shark fins?

I guess I'm neutral about it. Probably something I wouldn't try when I'm sober.

i dun get it...why not chickens? or...pig..or...or...

^^^ yea.

why wouldn't it be humane? I'd try it.. you know what it tastes like?

It tastes really good. I <3 Shark Fin Soup.

I guess I get what you're saying. But i don't think it's inhumane. But what about dogs?

just as long as that shark isn't endangered and if that shark's existence stays stable. in a good way.

but i wouldn't, still.

shark fin eh? i wouldnt mind trying that

it's over-hunted...

sharks are caught, their fins cut off, and then the carcasses thrown back in the ocean, to make room for more fins.

it's causing a decline in the shark population.

its good

Excuse me for posing the vegetarian argument, but, eating meat period is humane if put into perspective. Animals are bread, slaughtered by the masses and then served up for someone else to eat? That sounds a bit inhuman to me. People make exceptions because as human beings, we generally eat certain types of red and whte meat (steak, chicken, fish, etc) and the fact that humans are atop the food chain is a cause for justification.

Still, if we can survive and grow strong off of fruit and vegetables (and soy, holla!) alone, then why not switch to a more healthy and more human diet? I watched Super Size me and practically vomitted midway through, and I don't have a weak stomach. I'm not going to sit up here and tell everyone carnivore on this forum that they are wrong for not becoming a vegetarian/vegan but do yourself the favor of visiting a slaughterhouse. Then, eat meat shortly thereafter, you'd change your mind.

I believe eating sharkfins is inhumane as well as catching sharks to begin with. So what a shark ate a surfer? The shark was there first, you were in its territory. Ya shouldn't have been there. Tough.

I don't understand... haha, you people who said it's good do know that shark fins are tasteless right? The soup acquires its taste from broth... usually, it's chicken broth.

Chicken Broth Vegetarian style

-water
-dab of vinegar
-salt
-red pepper
-chicken seasoning

we are carnivorus and its humane if we eat any animals especially even humans. we eat meant i wouldnt be suprized. there are tribes in fiji or however you spell it that used to eat men. its our nature

If we choose to defy our nature and change our ways, then wouldn't our nature then become what we've changed to?

the texure tastes good*

i see nothing wrong... its cultre... if you want it to stop seek genocide

Oh, so it's culture for fisherman in Seattle to decide to bait and mutilate sharks? Thats one sick culture. If you're referring to a less advanced tribal society in the micronesian that eats sharks, then I understand. But, if you're referring to Americans, then you should rethink that statement.

Now that u mention it........I think it is tasteless and it requires some thickish soup base................
Sharks fin soup is realli nice, not to mention freakin expensive!! >.<

Mn.....sharks fin is like nothing comapred to what other animals that are eaten.....like yea........dogs....cockroaches..... But why specifically "shark fins"?????

well we cant live off fruits and vegetables alone and you cant change the ways of 3 billion people .. you do make a good point but they do this for the money,

Oh, but we can. Every nutrient found in meat is found in fruits and vegetables.

And for all of you Christians unsure of this argument, here's a nice lil' quote for yous.

Isaiah 66:3

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

then what do we do with the chickens and cows are we to just release them into the world to roam?

If no human ate meat, some species of animals would overpopulate the Earth. But that's a whole other debate.

i like my meat, biotch!

i have eaten meat b4 and all you tree hugging flower picking queers and gonna stop me!

thats my dad's favorite saying when ppl say he eats too much meat lol

thanks for the sermon but man dont go there with the regilious point of view, its just a shark, it doesnt need to get that deep. Though I did find the part about burning incense interesting, i burn incense all the time. And are sharks we are talking about about endangered or something?
