Ban the sale and possession of shark fin in the UK

Petition Details

Make it a criminal offence to trade or possess separated shark fin or tail

Additional Information

The practises related to the trade and consumption of shark fin are decimating shark populations around the world, and amount to nothing more than ecological vandalism. Shark fin has no discernible medical or nutritional value, and the action of 'finning' a shark is inhumane and unnecessary. The UK government should close all loopholes regarding this industry, and should consider making shark fin a banned commodity.
