I know lots of people like shark fin soup in Japan, but I was taken aback when I turned on the tv and saw your typical moron talento (tv personality) slicing into a shark carcass and then holding it above her head cheering 'yatta' (I did it!)
TV asahi had a one hour special on 'the 30 best places to have shark fin soup' and also showed such wonders as the fishermen cutting the fins, to the fins being cleaned and dried to the final Ooiiiishiiii (tasty)
I'll post the link http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/densetsu/ but it will likely have next week show posted soon. I've attached a screen shot of the site.
Before anyone goes on a tirade about the japanese and sharks, keep in mind that 99% of Japanese are not mean or arrogant about the plight of sharks, they are simply ignorant. So lets not get aggressive but instead focus on educating... any japanese speakers out there can let their friends know and maybe let TV-Asahi know.

I agree 100% with you David.Some people's traditions is to kill animals just for soup or grease.They don't understand that nowadays things are changed.They don't care because they want their soup.
There is no difference if these animals are sharks,whales or dolphins.Some nations are ready to kill anything in the name of tradition.
