#Repost from our conservation friends at... @teamsharkwater @download.ins --- Let's go! We are excited to announce that the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee has approved the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act. The legislation which was reintroduced by Sens.Cory Booker and Shelley Moore Capito was passed by the committee with a 24 to 4 vote and will be included in the Endless Frontier Act S. 1260. This is great news for sharks and the oceans as the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act makes it illegal to buy, sell, possess or move shark fins or any product containing shark fins, except for certain Dogfish fins. Although shark finning is illegal in the U.S. the country does not have a total ban on the shark fin trade and is a major shipping hub for illegal fins. We want to personally thank Sens. @corybooker @capitoforwv @maria.cantwell_ and @senlisamurkowski i, and House reps. @kilili_sablan @congressman_mccaul . And a huge shout out to the shark advocates and shark community. Without all of your support changes like these wouldn’t be made possible. Although this success brings the U.S. one step closer to being fin free, the fight isn’t over yet. We still have to await majority Leader Chuck Schumer to schedule a vote by the full Senate. #stopfinning #bansharkfin #sharkfinban #endthetrade #sharkfinning #sharkfinsoup #sharktrade #sharkfishing #helpsavesharks #stopfinning #nosharkfin #savesharks #finsattached #seachangeagency #sealegacy #discoversharks (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPVpYNOB3m4/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the saddest part for a shark to lose its life, when wicked humans end their lives in such egotistical manner 😤Posted @withregram • @oceana We should be afraid for sharks. . Shark finning is a gruesome act of slicing off a shark’s fins and dumping the body back into the ocean to slowly drown or bleed to death. Every year, fins from up to 73 million sharks end up in the global shark fin trade. While shark finning is illegal in the U.S., the global demand for fins drives this horrible practice, and the U.S. participates in this demand by allowing the buying and selling of shark fins. Sharks need our help before it's too late. Speak up today to tell the U.S. Senate to pass a #FinBanNow. . 📸: Ethan Daniels | Shutterstock #shark #sharkfinban #finban https://www.instagram.com/p/CBrOKIIhfvm/?igshid=1q2nom1cau9cc
