Shark Fins Are Pushing Sharks to Extinction

Shark fins are still big business, and it’s getting scary. Despite international rules, tons of fins from endangered sharks are showing up in Hong Kong markets. Scientists say illegal trade is so out of control that some ancient shark species could actually disappear. It’s all for pricey shark fin soup and trophies. If we don’t chill out on the finning, we could lose these ocean predators for good—and nobody really knows what that’ll do to the seas. #Science #SharkFinning #EndangeredSpecies
