Finning


good for the fins

I know you all know now about finning and its evils. This morning Peter called from the harbor to tell us that someone had caught about 15 baby sharks and was cutting them up for their fins. We went down there as quickly as we could with a camera and got in this guys face and took photos. He smiled and didn't stop or slow down his slicing in any way. We emailed the photos to the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Tourism in Oman with a letter reminding them this practice is illegal in Oman. We'll see what happens.
