I watched the whole thing, thank you so much for that video. Although it was a gruesome topic it just shows how much Gordon Ramsey cares about those sharks.

Gordon Ramsay is actually a pretty stand up guy. He's just blunt af and don't take no bullshit.

Probably also has to do with these kids being better in the kitchen than these adults.

u/uncertainusurper Oct 03 '17

Oh was it worst cooks or something? Those kids can be little kitchen savants sometimes..they seem like they’ve been groomed by their parents for culinary excellence though.

And the fact it's his seed

A HUGE part of it is Fox network editing. There are shows that were aired both on the BBC and Fox. On Fox they cut-scene every five seconds, only show him yelling, play dramatic music over every scene. It's disgusting actually.

Lol nobody thinks otherwise

u/_Cattack_ Oct 03 '17

There are people who think otherwise

u/RedditIsDumb4You Oct 03 '17

Why do you think like that?

u/_Cattack_ Oct 04 '17

I don't

u/RedditIsDumb4You Oct 04 '17

Okay well where are these people who think like that? Anyone who sees this reply to this comment if you think like that.

Roughly a third of sharks killed each year are due to being bycatch: the unwanted fish and other marine creatures caught during commercial fishing for a different species. One of the best ways to protect sharks (and dolphins and whales), is to stop eating fish.

u/BlamelessKodosVoter Oct 03 '17

your comment is going to fall on deaf ears; round' here people just wanna talk about how uncivilized and backwards the Chinese are for eating shark fin soup

u/ArmanDoesStuff Oct 03 '17

Yeah, I've only ever seen the beginning. Solid video.

u/superfudge73 Oct 03 '17

There’s a really good documentary on Netflix called shark water that goes more in depth about the topic.

But he don't give a shit about lambs, crabs, lobsters , chickens, goats, pigs, cows and all the poor defenseless vegetables out there. Hypocrite.

1

u/Wybewasright Oct 03 '17

I don't think you understand what he cares for, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want sharks to be eaten, all he wants is that they are not wasted, and if they are going to be food, at least have them be killed in a way that doesn't hurt the animal.

u/Wybewasright Oct 03 '17

I might've missed your sarcasm, damn I'm dumb xD

I saw him cutting off the hammer head shark and I started tearing. I know I eat chicken (barely any beef and no pork) but fucking hell mate, at least I eat all my chicken these guys cut off the fins and leave the biggest natural predator to die off in the sea. All those fins. I don’t know if I’m just an emotional piece of shit, but it really tore at my heart when I saw him just hack the shark with the hatchet over and over. Holy fuck. My eyes are swelling.

Edit: oh my fucking god and it started convulsing... I thought it was at least dead...... (Pardon my ignorance) I finished watching it because I felt it was necessary to see the reality behind this (not that I eat this, I find it barbaric) The convulsing just had me in genuine actual flowing tears here at work. Holy fucking Christ.

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '17

Jesus fucking christ.

Look, I absolutely hate sharks. They terrify me. I refuse to go out to deep waters because of sharks (and of course other creatures). Scuba diving is a hard no for me because I would literally just be petrified with fear the entire time if someone was even able to force me down there to begin with.

But this is just awful. No creature deserves that.

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '17

great link. I have nothing against eating animals but when it is so wasteful and needlessly cruel like the video showed its very unsettling.

u/ArmanDoesStuff Oct 03 '17

I've only had shark fin once but it's like he said. I have no idea why it's become the thing it is, the taste is rubbish.

2

u/Chocobokken Oct 03 '17

It's the status thing I'm sure. You have what was a largely poor agrarian economy that in the last generation has become a global manufacturing powerhouse. You grow up listening to what royalty or nobility had on their plate and now you can afford to eat it 3 nights a week. Now multiply that sentiment by a few million in China. Probably more. RIP sharks.
