10.000 Haifischflossen im Wert von über 11 Millionen US-Dollar bei großer Razzia gegen Wildtierhandel in Peru beschlagnahmt

>Shark fins are prized in Chinese cuisine, particularly for shark fin soup, which is associated with status and celebration, according to the nonprofit Shark Stewards. It’s a dish that can sell for $100 a bowl and continues to drive a lucrative black market.

Although the article mentions the cruelty to the sharks, there’s no mention of the injuries that the villagers suffer, such as partial or full loss of limbs. There’ve been stories about this on villages in Asia that engage in shark hunting, all for the love of soup. It’s a shame that downtrodden areas of the world do this so that richer groups can enjoy their luxuries.

….and every review I’ve ever read boils down to ***it tastes „meh“***.    

 So it’s 100% about people without taste trying to look chik

Crazy how there’s such a demand for something that’s so gross tasting.
