Wetpixel Moderator Shawn Heinrichs has written an eloquent personal account of his feelings when confronting those who carry on the shark finning trade on his blog. Entitled "The Dark Room", it is accompanied by some graphic and distressing images. He starts:

"My soul was blackened. Where once I had seen light at the end of the tunnel, now there was only darkness engulfing me. How had mankind gone so far off the track, engaging in such barbaric acts, willful cruelty and reckless destruction? Nature has given us so many incredible gifts, but rather than cherish and protect them, we have set out to systematically eradicate them."
