fish CX & KA profiting from the carriage of SHARK FIN fin

A new petition is now online...

https://www.change.org/petitions/swi...-cargo-flights

Approximately some 500 tons of DRIED SHARK FIN per year have been flown by CX and KA aircraft.
Many states and countries have and are in the process of banning this lucrative trade: California, Palau, Hawaii.
This is not cultural tradition but has become more of a "Show off" culture.
Sharks have survived for over 400 million years and 4 major extinctions.They gestate late in life and only produce 3 to 4 pups per year.
Without sharks the fragile balance of the oceans will perish with the loss and change to many other species.
Please help stop this highly lucrative trade by being responsible managers and crew members.
