Shark Fin Free Mississauga

Shark Fin Free Mississauga Shark Fin Free Mississauga We need your help to make Mississauga a fin free city you CAN make a difference. This is not a natural phenomenon.

By signing the petition for Mississauga City Council to bring a ban to the possession, sale and consumption of Shark Fin and Derivative Products, you help create a positive change and take a small step towards bringing balance to the oceans and securing a future for these magnificent creatures. It is estimated that 90% of the world's shark populations have been decimated. Between 70 - 100 million

sharks are slaughtered world-wide every year so that their fins can be used in shark fin soup. Sharks will often have their fins and tails cut off before being tossed back into the ocean to die a slow and agonizing death. This disgusting and cruel practice is made even more reprehensible by the following facts:

Shark fin soup has no significant nutritional value
Shark fin soup is consumed as a status symbol
Research has shown that high levels of mercury and other toxins in fins and flesh make the soup to be considered unhealthy for human consumption
Shark fins don't actually add flavour to the soup, only texture

Watch the documentary Sharkwater to learn more about the inhumane practice of finning, and please help us spread the word by sending this to your contacts.
