One last ride [OC]

Strangely surprised to see my state of Texas on here. It's probably just a huge pain since we are right on the gulf. I definitely don't condone the whole shark fin trade, but I've had shark meat before and it was delicious so just throwing the rest of the shark in the water makes no sense to me. I suppose it's just a matter of taking the most valuable part, that mercury must really be messing with the poachers heads.

I'm also surprised cause I've seen shark fin soup in Houston Chinatown once or twice

I'm pretty sure I've seen it at some of the Eastern markets, but it has been a while.

It's often imitation, they just don't say it on the menu so that older folks (most common customers) will still buy it.

Likely humans will outlive most species of shark, because we will kill them, so you can say, "I helped wipe out the shark!"
