"Shark fin is purely cartilage, the same compound in human, cow and other vertebrates. Cartilage has no nutritional value. Any benefit would come from the broth and other ingredients added”

Mostly, shark fins will be relived in a bowl of soup, the meal was originated in Song Dynasty in 10th Century. The soup was a symbol of wealthiness of the emperor which was served to the guests because it was thought to have medicinal.

Shark finning kills an estimated 100 million or more sharks globally per year. With their slow growth and low reproductive rates, sharks are highly susceptible to extinction. 181 shark species are red listed as Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
.
Shark finning basically is the practice of removing the fins from a capture shark, and releasing the animal to the sea. Let’s imagine a bit, if someone closes your respiratory system, without oxygen our brain will be damaged critically in 3 minutes and in 10 minutes you will be dead fully. It is the same way as sharks without their fins. They will die after losing their fins because they can no longer swim.
.
What sharks are killed for their fins? The answer is any shark, any age, and any size but the most is The Blue shark which has an estimated 20 million killed for their fins annually.
Shark populations have decreased by 60 to 90 percent in just the last 15 years because of the shark fin trade has been increasing annually even there are rules and punishments about it clearly.
Shark fins are sold in an incredibly high price. One pound of dried shark fin can be sold around 300$ or more. Hong Kong is the world’s largest hub for shark fins, accounting for about half of global trade, according to the Hong Kong Shark Foundation.

Believing is good, people believe in various things but to believe, sometimes we need to be more reasonable.
Shark fins are believed to have properties of boosting sexual potency, enhancing skin quality, increasing energy, preventing heart disease, and lowering cholesterol. There are also claims that shark fins prevent cancer.

.
However, there is “NO” scientific evidence or one study found that shark cartilage generally to be “no value” in nutritional and cancer treatment or to be used to treat any medical condition.
The easiest way to understand is shark fin is the same material as our ears which even if we eat our own ears, we won’t get any nutrition, it might be delicious but it DOES NOT have any benefit for our body.
.
.
So now the question is “Are you still going to enjoy eating shark fin soup? Do you still believe that shark fins have a lot of benefits? Even when you know that shark fin has no nutritional value or any medical treatment. Do you not want your children to see alive shark not a taxidermy?
.
The answer is yours to make.
