cows and pigs can be farmed.
sharks cannot. therefore, shark populations are being depleted by eating them. cow and pig populations are not. |

Well in asian culture there's shark fin soup. I think it's okay i mean you don't want sharks overpopulating the ocean. If Sharks can eat us why not vice versa

We shouldn't even discuss this, since humans eat everything that can breath and eat, and it isn't considered to be abnormal.
Cats, cows, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, pigs, snakes, frog legs, fish eyes, etc...the list never ends. I wouldn't be surprised if humans started eating eachother. (err..meaning that it isn't considered cannibalism [and is a normal occurrence]) |

well, i don't really have an opinion, but it can't be humane or inhumane considering it doesn't pertain the misuse or mistreatment of humans..
 maybe..sharkane? insharkane? |

Never had shark...never really care to either. You're so right. It seems like common thought amongst this thread is that eating sharks is ok because; 1) we're carnivorois and 2) sharks are somehow a threat to our existence because they're such aggressive predators. Maybe its just me, but a lot of people have a hard time seeing the bigger picture. Ok, so a surfer gets her arm chomped off. Thats a tragic fate for her, but, c'mon, who lives the water? |

If someone wants to eat them, let them eat it. I personally wouldn't want to but, I'm sure to some people, it's not different than eating steak.

The argument isn't whether or not someone wants to eat them, the argument is whether or not its inhumane... which it clearly is. |

does it matter that if the sharks die, the whole ocean ecosystem will be shot, and all the fish will die, resulting in more hunger and whole economies crashing?
i guess not... |
