Perfectly designed, over millenia they
\nGlide effortlessly through the water on any given day
\nThey do possess a problem or so it does appear
\nTheir fins are made of cartilage which when cooked goes thick yet clear<\/p>\n

And its become a problem for it seems the Chinese Race
\nMake a soup out of these fins, I agree its a disgrace
\nBut they do, its down to mouth feel,bitter, sweet and sour,
\nslimy, crunchy its important
\nclearly this is how
\nTheir history pans out over centuries they choose
\nThe fins of shark to which they add chicken
\nbut refuse
\nTo stop consuming sharks fin despite the methods used
\nof capturing and killing with this creature so abused.
\nSuch ignorance a fore thought they simply hack away at any shark they come across in a vile and nasty way
\nThen throw the creature back into the ocean minus fins
\nto die of blood loss and of shock
\nJust another of their sins.<\/p>\n

A shark is an apex predator, with a footprint in the sea
\nof being quite formidable its true most when they see
\nA shark, they do feel nervous about stories that they’ve heard
\nBut a shark retains its place and to murder it is absurd.<\/p>\n

Taiwan’s just banned the practice but hasn’t banned the dish
\nRestaurants serving such a product boycott if you wish
\nPeople have to see that every creature feels great pain
\nand sharks are very sensitive and undergo great strain
\nIts gelatinous, its not really nice, its a very Chinese thing
\nBut I think that given how they are caught the terror it does bring
\nTo a culinary masterpiece which this dish purports to be
\nTo my mind its a waste of life and could be replaced quite easily.<\/p>\n

Clearly there is money to be had here
\nAnd fishermen and others want to be
\nEarning big bucks from what they are doing
\nand criminal gangs are at it, it seems to me
\n\u00a3200 a kilo in the market place that gets the juices flowing I would say
\nAnd anyone whose got a boat will take their chance and be afloat
\nhacking off these fins just any day.<\/p>\n

Clearly vegans and vegetarians scorn this
\nBut people who eat Chicken, Cow and Fish
\nClearly do not understand the argument
\nDelicacies of course they do relish
\nThey do not care to think about the animal
\nHow its killed, what pain it felt for they
\nare only in the restaurant to eat what takes their fancy, and if it died in agony its okay
\nSome places bring the live soul to the table and cook it, diners see the creature die, they hear the creature sizzle,some may even realise the sizzle
\nis, the creatures terrible death bed cry,
\nsome may be put off by this but others
\nchoose living animals to eat for they
\nbelieve its great nutrition I call it sick rendition
\nmy mission is to end this right away.
\nBut the Chinese and the Vietnamese and others
\ntheir culinary scope is vast and they
\nCan’t see what all the fuss is over when those now objecting.
\nare eating steaks and fish themselves today.<\/p>\n

Its wrong to torture animal earthlings everywhere,
\nIts sick to not accept this to be wrong
\nWhether the consumer feeds the rumour
\nall must face the karma and despair
\nFor its coming there’s no doubt in my mind honestly
\nEvery living creature has the right
\nTo live and not be put to death in abject agony which is the case I regret to say tonight.

Shark finning highlighted by significant people over the last several years. It is a vile and cruel practice that should be stopped, to the depths of iniquity some would stoop to make a fast buck and this now is on a scale that could see the extinction of various species of Shark in the near future.Human Kind do truly sicken me in this case money seems the root of all evil.
