Support the California Bill outlawing sale of shark fins introduced

Recommended Posts

:B)::dance: :dance: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/greenspace...n-advances.html "The bill passed the Senate Appropriations Committee on a 5-2 vote and now moves to the Senate floor, where a vote is expected within the next few weeks." :good: :good: :good:

Attitude towards sharks can change and not everyone is stubborn...

imho, sfs are featured more prominantly in the menu of the southern coastal cities. Migrants fr there brought this "habit" w them to SE Asia n other countries... I have many colleagues who are Chinese fr different parts of PRC, they are able to accept my sharings about sharks & the need to stop having sfs, in fact, 2 of them changed the sfs out at their wedding (small) banquets at my request & the others promised not to order. I have more problems getting the Singaporean Chinese descendants of the coastal migrants to change their minds, that include my closer relatives... Note: I am also a descendant of coastal migrants fr China, my grandparents were from China. ;-)

Just to give everyone an update, the law has passed the California Legislature today and was sent to the Governor, who should sign it. Full news article here:

 

Please, if you see this today (Wednesday, September 7) please call Governor Jerry Brown's office at 916/445-2841 and encourage him to sign AB 376 into law! It only takes a moment.

 

The sharks thank you.
