TJ.. that's just silliness.. Raise the price for shark fins and it will only increase their poaching and smuggling. What has to happen is an outright ban on the practice, and a strong education process as to why eating shark is not a sustainable food resource. I was disgusted by all the shark fin restaurants in Bangkok. Couldn't seem to find a good, traditional, chinese restaurant there because everything centered around shark fin soup. Believe me, so long as a market remains for it officially (and not impeded by customs or import tariffs), people are going to eat it, and poor people are going to continue to slaughter sharks to meet that demand. Granted, it's not an easy problem to deal with, but the first step is by PERSONAL DECISIONS to boycott restaurants that serve shark fin soup. And you, being a "sophisticated" individual hell bent upon saving humanity, you might think about extending your altruism towards properly managing our natural resources. Hawk
