I don't support the mass slaughter of sharks for the fin trade, but If they are not endangered and not caught in a closed area, they're just another fish for human consumption.

The number of sharks in the area, including blacktips, has decreased significantly these last years. For sure they were caught in a protected area, but the problem is how to proof that. Naming and shaming is the only way to stop this.

At least it is being fully made use of and not just being finned.
