the News

I headed over the the CNN website to find out about tonight's "Planet in Peril" show highlighting the 100 million to 10 death toll in the man vs shark war, and saw this headline: "World's corals reefs are vanishing, report says".

While I'm glad our largest eco system (oceans cover 2/3rds of our world's surface) is in the news, I wish the news was positive. Maybe the show tonight will discourage shark fin soup eaters once they know the devastation and cruelty that each bowl of soup has caused. I look forward to reading a news article about the lack of demand worldwide for shark fin soup.
