Description: The atrocious practice of Shark Finning, where the fins are cut off from the sharks' bodies, has devastating effects on shark populations worldwide. The cruel practice of Finning results in sharks dying a slow and painful death after having their fins removed. Particularly in Asia, shark fins are a coveted delicacy for dishes like shark fin soup. This ruthless trade threatens ocean ecosystems and leads to a dramatic decline in shark populations.
