If not there should be. I was reading an article about it, and was horrified.

geez what lame excuses from disney...what's next offering powdered rhino horn to guests 'cuz it's tradition :(

It just amazes me that they feel no corporate responsability...I guess when there are no sharks left, they will stop the madness

I can't read that article without wanting to pimp slap someone, so I won't, but I have seen a show about shark hunting for fins and it is the epidomy of evil. They catch the shark and cut its fins off and while still alive dump them back overboard to just sink to the bottom and die a slow, agonizing death. Humans can be so disgusting sometimes :furious: I'm in a pissy mood about hunting today, so I'll stop there. :-/

IME, the younger people in HK don't see it as culturally important than the older gens, but I could be wrong. So I think Disney is missing its target market here -- is it really going after the 50+ crowd? I'd think it'd be better off targeting the 30-somethings who are just now starting to have children, and who are more environmentally-aware and willing to bend social traditions.

But again that's just my observations.

"People eat it because they don't realise the consumption will threaten the animals," said Chu.

sounds familiar :(

$400/bowl?! Why don't we hurt the environment and drive shark species into extinction so we can waste money on a pointless dish? Blagh.

Veal isn't cheap, either, I'm told. :gun:
