How can anyone view pictures like this and not be disturbed by the trade in sharks? Apparently taken at a fish market in Dubai.

Yes, I live in Dubai and the problem with shark fishing here is serious.
Although there are a few Chinese restaurants that sell shark’s fin soup the vast majority of them are shipped to Hong Kong.

It certainly is a terrible situation Matt!
Despite legislation, sadly the trade for shark fins in the UAE continues. In one weekend there were 275 finned sharks in Diera fish market. Please take a moment to sign and share this petition
