Mostly any shark will do, but the bigger the fin the better.
no, sadly not. Some sharks are considered game fish and are hunted. Shark fin soup is a result of this.
because people want to kill them for shark soup and are hunting them downSharks became endangered because of humans hunting them down and killing them, for their fins. As one shark fin can be sold for up to $100.00! They use the fins in shark fin soup and the fins add no flavour to the soup and only texture! They die a cruel death. Although some people do it for sport!!There are hundreds of species of sharks. Not all are endangered, so it depends on what type of shark you are referring to.Sharks are endangered because they are hunted and fished for by people. people hunt sharks for their teeth and skin.
Campaign to make Shark's Fin Soup illegal in China as the sharks are being killed so that the fins can be made into Sharks Fin Soup. There are so many billions of Chinese that is is afecting the whole World. Change the laws in your country to make it illegal to fish for or kill a shark. Make your country's Navy arrest and impound any foreign fishing vessels that hunt shark and whales.

It is now considered that all species of sharks play an important role in the ecology of the oceans. Due to over hunting, certain shark species were reduced and could have become extinct. The need for shark conservation has brought about laws against wanton slaughter in certain areas. Shark fin soup is made from the fins of sharks, who are then thrown back into the sea, often still alive!
