China is mass killing sharks, birds, and who knows what, just for soup

Well, with global warming, over hunting, and as I’ve learned Chinese, wildlife doesn’t stand a chance.

Apparently, I’m not the only wildlife conservator up in arms with an old Chinese meal that isn’t only cruel, but dramatically decreasing shark population. It’s called Shark finning to make Shark Fin Soup. Not only are the Chinese satisfied with killing an animal, they like to torture them before killing them.  The Chinese catch shark and then cut off the fins, then throw it back in the water. Well, then the shark can’t swim and dies slowly at the bottom.

This meal is killing of many species of shark which is destroying the whole sea ecosystem.The shark population has dropped almost 90% in the last couple of decades due to the Chinese, that’s over 100 million sharks deaths per year. Just because they like soup.

Not all Chinese support this horrible practice, though.  The CWCA (the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Association) is fighting against it.

But, wait, I’m not done with the Chinese, not even close.

Again just because they like soup, the Chinese have found killing baby birds as well as mature birds O.K. to make there beloved  soup.

Bird Nest Soup is made by Chinese going into caves, and finding bird nests made by a couple species of the Swiflet bird family. The male bird makes a perfect nest over a month on a wall of a cave and then lives in it with his mate. Well, a Chinese person comes around and shoos the birds away and if there’s baby birds, they just dump them on the floor, leaving them to die. And the adult birds don’t have any where to live so they die too.

If you agree with me and the rest of the world, stop going to Chinese restaurants, even if they don’t serve Shark Fin Soup. And, stop buying China made products. This would crush China’s economy and send them into a downward spiral.

STOP BUYING PRODUCT AND FOOD OF CHINA!
