But I do prefer mock/processed shark fin over real shark fin. <br /><br />Many love shark fin and eat real shark fin: They want to enjoy food and do not mind killing off a specie for it. No matter what is said to them they wont change their mind about it.<br /><br />But for people like myself whom love shark fin and willing to go vegetarian shark fin or processed/mock shark fin: then good for you.<br /><br />For people who hate shark fin and dont eat shark fin: Fair enough.<br /><br />For people who either love or hate shark fin and wont eat it but tell people off: Dont waste your time, people wont change their mind to it, especially about food. And constant flaming with no action is always boring and annoying to watch.<br /><br />Interesting blog!LillysLifestylesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-45669051994832387752011-08-10T20:36:21.753+08:002011-08-10T20:36:21.753+08:00As addition from &#39;The West&#39; (cue affecting music) yes, I will be the aboriginal to accept that we (although I abhorrence actuality refered to as one ability - acutely we are not) accept wiped out a cogent cardinal of our breed of animals, and hey, I am British, so the added countries we came across, Singapore included.

This is a great step forward.<BR/><BR/>One can never be sure were the shark fins have come from or if the rest of the shark was discarded or not. 85% of the time, only the fins are collected as they take up less space and are the most veluable. Also one does not know what species of shark is being served or if it is a protected or endangered species or not.<BR/><BR/>Having over 100 million sharks slauthered every year, for the sake of a plate of soup is having quite a disasterous effect on the survival of the species.<BR/><BR/>Using "tradition" as the excuse to consume shark fin soup is only a mask to hide the true egoistic reason of wanting to be in the "higher Class" social standard.<BR/><BR/><B>2009</B> has already been declared as the <B>INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE SHARK.</B> Check out http://www.year-of-the-shark-2009.org<BR/><BR/>Maybe you too would like to join and support this movement.The Sharkmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00049307498205686407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-68977001846825944332009-01-15T21:23:00.000+08:002009-01-15T21:23:00.000+08:00Southernoise: From the vagina.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-60100720636261656032009-01-15T21:22:00.000+08:002009-01-15T21:22:00.000+08:00With the all-important concept of saving face at all cost, the Chinese will never be THE superpower. <BR/><BR/>Heck, it can count itself lucky if it can survive the next 2 years.<BR/><BR/>Just like sinkee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-39974624968778430862009-01-15T20:27:00.000+08:002009-01-15T20:27:00.000+08:00omg camemberu! where do these people come from?southernoisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09923807764936167366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-5919177119034710592009-01-15T19:22:00.000+08:002009-01-15T19:22:00.000+08:00Let's not forget which culture has actually demonstrated that they are capable of causing extinction in a species; the West. Do a quick wiki search, it's not hard to see that the majority of animal extinctions were driven by the West for all sorts of reasons, some more stupid than others. It's easy for them to point a finger at the East now for our whaling, shark's fin consumption (traditions which have gone on for years mind you) etc when they've already done their fair share of proven irreversible damage. Go to hell, when China becomes the superpower, the hypocritical West will bow down like the dogs they are and know their rightful position is to gather the crumbs under my table. And all you White culture loving traitors, you will be there fighting for scrapes as well. Enough with these white-washed double standards.Impartialnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-21828884615306626922009-01-15T17:29:00.000+08:002009-01-15T17:29:00.000+08:00Eve+line, you are absolutely right - if it makes a statement, it would be worth doing. But just as you clearly illustrated above, most of it falls on deaf ears. It's simply ineffective. You just find people reaching across in glee to grab the newly available bowl of shark's fin soup. There is no more "shock value" in making this stand. If it still represents something important to you personally, by all means, please do it. <BR/><BR/>But my query is - is it enough? <BR/><BR/>What about more hard-hitting measures? I've added some ideas above, at the end.Camemberuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-88455471679779090552009-01-14T21:42:00.000+08:002009-01-14T21:42:00.000+08:00The plight of homeless people in the streets of sinkee touched me more.<BR/><BR/>The absurdity of high ministerial pay touched me more.<BR/><BR/>Amongst other things.<BR/><BR/>Just because you are so obstinate I will go out of my way to eat a bowl of sharks fin, REAL, every day from today till the 15th of the lunar new year.<BR/><BR/>I will also go out of my way to promote having sharks fin for this festive season and beyond too!<BR/><BR/>HUAT AH!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-10889897854793891352009-01-14T13:23:00.000+08:002009-01-14T13:23:00.000+08:00An easier way to make a stand, if you want to make it that is, is simply to make a clear request for no shark's fin. When I'm given a choice of menu, I would choose vegetarian just to make things easier for the host.<BR/><BR/>If I have no choice in the menu I would just decline shark fin. The "wasting food" issue doesn't come in for me; if junking a bowl of shark fin down the rubbish chute would send the message to my fellow diners, I would do it. Anyway, most of the time, they would happily gobble down the extra bowl, mercury be damned, so I also won't waste my breath on them.<BR/><BR/>If the plight of the sharks or the horror of the shark fin trade touched you in some way, would you consider taking a stronger stand on this?eve+linehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01253269171539306804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-11325385062342072932009-01-14T12:37:00.000+08:002009-01-14T12:37:00.000+08:00I have already stated that I love shark's fin, so what is so hypocritical about it? <BR/><BR/>I am just helping Lovesharks spread their message, but I do put out both sides of the story. I'm sorry, can you read?<BR/><BR/>While I do not actively order it, I will still eat shark's fin if it is already cooked and served. To throw the creature away would be a further indignity.

Sharks don't reproduce easily and this with the demand for shark fin means its survival chances are getting slimmer everyday.<BR/><BR/>By Mr Giam's spurious argument, if a shark is already dead when you fin it, it's okay? I shall let readers reach their own conclusions.<BR/><BR/>Another commonly touted excuse for shark fin consumption is "we eat the whole shark". The truth is, as you are slurping down your shark fin, you have absolutely no idea where the rest of the shark is. You have no idea the origin, what species, where the rest of the shark ended up. I suspect these people are just happy to delude and assuage themselves of the guilt of eating shark fin.eve+linehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01253269171539306804noreply@blogger.com
