rooster59 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Protected whale shark on open sale in Chinatown, says uni doctor Image: Sanook Dr Thon Thamrongnawasawat posted pictures on his Facebook page of parts of a whale shark being sold openly in the Yaowarat area of Bangkok, the city's Chinatown. The items appeared to be fins. Dr Thon, from the department of marine and fisheries at Kaset University in Bangkok, said that the whale shark is a protected species. He also said that other parts of two other protected whale species and a protected turtle species were on display though it was not clear that these were in the same place. Action has been called for under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Popular Post Benmart Posted March 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2018 Greed, corruption and lawlessness is the prefered meal of many business people and those entrusted to uphold laws. It is finished by a dessert of hypocracy at the local places of money oriented ceremony. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct! The Whale Shark is a fish, not a mammal. The largest fish in the sea. Can grow over 12m and weigh over 21 tons! Despite their size, not a whole lot known about them...such as where they breed and where the females bear their young. It's status is: Endangered.

Skeptic7 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 This is extremely unacceptable and needs to be stopped. Education, conservation and severe penalties for violations is a must. This case will not garner the attention of the Black Panther case, though it certainly should. The name "shark" doesn't help, even though this huge fish is exclusively a filter feeder (feeds on plankton) and poses no threat to humans or sea creatures other than plankton.
