esoyohoo Posted July 30, 2012 at 03:50 AM Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 at 03:50 AM I do not think so. The one who wanna eat it, they will still take the risk to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scandinavian Posted July 30, 2012 at 06:38 AM Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 at 06:38 AM But it must be a very effective ban since it can "take up to three years to take effect" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankwall Posted August 1, 2012 at 02:56 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 at 02:56 PM I do not think it is a risk to eat it to be honest. But hopefully, others in China will see that eating this is wrong, and change their ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkhsu Posted August 1, 2012 at 05:14 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 at 05:14 PM In addition to high mercury levels, shark fin's are loaded with a neurotoxin. Ban will save sharks AND humans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
