here's the story

as professionals traveling the world, we are obliged to respect intl laws regarding the protection of species.
sometimes it can be very tempting to partake in something seemingly as innocuous as sharkfin soup. It's also hard sometimes to withstand peer pressure of "just this once" or "everyone else does it" or even "who's to know?"
it does make a difference what we all do. set an example and do the right thing, if humans don't protect these animals and continue exploiting them, they will be doomed.
Remember extinction is forever. |
