Lately I'm pretty much hooked up with the sense of righteousness. I guess it's the strong existence of friends of politics studies around me that got me into thinking. Hell yeah, time to be serious about stuff (Let's make my blog a wee bit more serious than it looks like, although at the moment I'm still trying to promote the 'lightness of being').
This morning when I still was dreaming about the massive seafood dinner in due course, this following story got me almost electrified and totally forget about my appetite.
Every little bowl of shark fin soup points right to the ugly shark catching and processing industry. British photographer Alex Hofford revealed in his book Man & Shark some shocking images of tons of sharks being processed in the Japanese city Kesen-numa, Japan's secret shark fin capital. Sadly these dirty businesses exit for the prosperity of us Asian's eating ritual. It is our weird eating habit and excitement of trying out luxurious food that stimulated this industry, causing secret blood shed in the world's water of Mozambique, Yemen, Japan and China.
Well, culture is not to blame on as it is what it is, however once we are shown to the facts, something within our human nature will surely change the way we act and eventually be responsible to any yes or no we decide.
No shark fin soup please.
