Which part of a shark is used in a soup that is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world?

Precisely another "delicacy" which makes me to never visit Asia.

The senseless slaughter of sharks who are thrown back into the water alive after having their fins cut off and left to die because they can't swim and pass water over their gills. If cut the limbs off the fishermen and throw them into the sea.

it's barbaric the way they cut the sharks fin off its back, I've seen it on TV, it's horrible!!! really horrible

RedSeaDiver, You’re absolutely correct! It’s an atrocity! Another good reason not to buy from China!

China don't have any respect for animals at all. just look at Youlin festival where they eat dogs and they even steal them to be sold and tortured and killed to eat. Other animals have died almost to extinction due to China's beliefs that they are an aphrodisiac. Bear bile farming is another one, not to talk about fur where they basically skinn them alive dogs and cats to throw them away to die a slow painful death. China is a horrible country the atrocities towards animals is beyond anyone's imagination. I will never visit that country.

A tasteless piece of cartilage, what a delicacy. Chew on the dead skin around your fingers instead. Boogers have more flavor.

Bonnie , but since Margaret thatcher destroyed industries in the UK everything we buy comes from China. so much for her being a good prime minister. she was an atrocity.

petri, especially when they eat live creatures, it is barbaric.

Damwic , these awful things are practised in other Asian countries dogs and cats are tortured before being killed to provide meat for humans. bears are farmed for bile too. I have given hundreds of pounds to charities to help stop these terrible activities, but it still goes on. We must do all we can to stop it.

this soup is disgusting the fins are cut off live sharks then they sharks are thrown back into the sea. It should be banned.

paul, mindless killing machines. Predators.

Player Say what!?, Asia is mostly great, but many here condemn shark fin soup

Player Say what!?, Like the west has no equally cruel practices
