Whale Shark and other Sharks turned into soup

In Taiwan it is very popular to make soup from shark fins. Thousands of sharks die for the sake of soup. Let me tell you something, yes some species of shark have killed or injured people every day in the ocean but they are needed. Called the wolves of the sea they do just that. They help keep other fish and creatures from over eating other food sources. There is a creature that eats carbon in the oceans, this gets eaten by other creatures and so on. The sharks eat these creatures to keep the balance. Less sharks have been shown to have a lot of the ocean to have a high acid level. People if this keeps up there will be so much acid the ocean will die nothing can live in it that includes whales and dolphins. There is also a creature I did not even know about till I saw it on the Go Diego Go Animal Rescue, called a Whale Shark. Yes it is a shark about the size of a whale little is known about these creatures because they are rarely seen near shores and live in different groups. All that is known is that they eat little things like plankton and very small creatures. Basically they have been known to be gentle as a whale. Now what purpose would we need to kill this creature when it does not kill or harm people? The answer is soup and the other parts. I heard that one Whale Shark female was caught for that purpose in Taiwan and they found that the Whale Shark gives birth to live young there were over 300 pups inside it. How does that make you feel that a pregnant whale shark was killed just to eat its fins and killed that many babies. It makes me think on how the giant gentle gorilla that looks fierce that really is gentle where all of the group are killed just so they can get hands and heads for selling sometimes to get the babies or kill the babies. Now how does that make you feel? Disgusted? It sure made me want to loose my lunch. One good news is that the Philippines have put the whale sharks up for protection in their waters.

A lot of the information I got this from were from youtube sites and National Geographic. Check out: Before it's too late The Whale Shark Gypsy of the Sea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btZdQzUk9D8&feature=channel
We need to help save the oceans and seas before we loose it completely.
