Current Event 10/19/11

Since we have been talking a little about sharks, I figured this article would be perfect. My article is titled, "A Snapshot of Shark Finning", by Bettina Wassener. My article talks about how the population of sharks as quickly been decreasing the past 3 years, and people are starting to here about it more in public. The sharks are being killed mainly for an asian soup which is used as a status symbol. Pictures were posted along with the article of the sharks and their fins cut off. The pictures are below:
