Safe Mode: On
European Shark Week

Hi all LiveLeakers. This looks like for a good cause. Its entirely up to you if you want to support this or not. In mid November I will remove it but worth seing

From predator to prey
High time to turn the tide for sharks



The EU ban on 'finning' (slicing off a shark's fins and discarding the body at sea) is among the world's weakest due mainly to the strong influence of the EU's top shark fishing nation: Spain.


The EU finning regulation allows permitted fishermen to remove shark fins at sea and land shark parts separately, complicating enforcement. Spain grants more permits than any other EU country.


Spain is working to further weaken the EU finning ban as the European Commission and other countries have called to strengthen it. Calls from concerned European citizens are needed to persuade Spain to change course.


Ask Spain's Prime Minister Rodríguez Zapatero to promote shark conservation including urgently needed revisions to the EU finning ban.

I have provided the links for those that are willing to read more or move forward to sign the petition
