Why is ivory ,sharks fins so expensive

The Chinese.

I insist on an ivory handled spoon while having shark fin soup.

a great bunch of lads

Tops,

As posted before ,only bloke who did six months for a frog ,he stamped on it ,I stamped on him (broke his jaw), was I right ? Or wrong,

Better to report him to Police.....can see why you got angry though.

Reminds me of a scene from my favourite French restaurant.

Waiter, waiter there's a piece of shark in my soup.

Fin?

No, I've not even started.

You was right as usual Conditor..although as Leopard posted, I am not sure the police would have thought so?

So I hope you got away with it

...

I think it's the cost of importing them that make them expensive . Should be much cheaper once we get rid of EU tarriffs

Ivory endangers Elephants...it should not even be sold legally imo

Shark Fin soup is on the wane in China, and it does endanger Sharks

I found this on internet

Sharks are a crucial part of the ocean’s ecosystem. As the apex predator, sharks keep the marine food chain in balance. Without sharks other predatory fish and marine animals will thrive, which will deplete the amount of food fishes. Without these food fishes, algae and other plants will thrive causing coral reefs to disappear and making the water toxic for all live. Furthermore, sharks are integral to the carbon cycle and if they vanish, the carbon loading of the atmosphere will increase, causing untold damage from global warming. So it is vital that we protect these species in order to protect our oceans, our planet, and even, ourselves.


It seems we need to protect Sharks to protect ourselves , although we may not feel like this if we are swimming in the ocean and meet one face to face

Most people who are killed by Sharks tend to ignore shark warnings....so we may be better off without these people, not very clever

If you don't speak shark, the warnings may go unnoticed.

Have you not heard? Shark not only eat humans, they eat dust too.

Gery you need to keep up. C mentions in the post and has said before he got six months for it.

In answer to his question, he done right in my opinion and should never have been jailed.

Coming back to it , I did 74 days (let out ) rules ,Nottingham class  B, ,I think .. should move you to class C'..... anyway lived will killers ,rapists and peodofiles, ,, but kind people .....all of em thought I was the biggest nutter in prison, is that not strange

The smack Ed’s used to come in ,bullijng for drugs ,,... keep away from Gary he’s mad ...

Ivory and shark fin soup are status symbols in the eyes of the Chinese community - abalone is another. This is akin to having wild salmon and goose instead of mackerel and turkey for dinner and x'mas respectively; a high status could mean respectability in the eyes of the Chinese which is important for business and standing in their community.

Just another lot of their fantasy belief with no scientific data to back them up.

what we need is open season hunting on poachers who kill elephants and warships to blow up shark killing trawlers see how they feel they wont like it up em mr Mainwaring.

I think the Park Rangers in Africa shoot first and ask question later tbf lockup

good lads
