Target: Australian government at all levels
Region: Australia
Web site: http://www.sharkwater.com
Background (Preamble):
Australians import 10,000kg of dried shark fins every year from countries that have not banned finning, which equates to an estimated 26,000 sharks.
The brutal act of finning sharks is banned in Australia. Buying them from other countries is supporting the problem. Every 1/2 hr 5000 sharks will be slaughtered.
Unless we make a stand and say no to these products the sharks will be facing extinction.
You do not want to tell your children what a shark used to look like.
