Divers used to see Hammerheads int he HUNDREDS but now seeing one or two is counted as lucky
I hear stories from my father of diving in the near shores of Mantanani filled with sharks or every type that you'd piss your pants if you saw it for the first time.
I hear stories of seeing sharks just here in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park many many years ago.
But all that has become only a memory for the older generation and a dream for the younger. All because of a bowl of soup which provides no nutritional value all in the name to status .
For those who have joined me to stop shark's fin by not drinking it at all THANK YOU for your contributions and keep going =)
For those who have not i wish you would join me along with the new generation who are concious of the world, mercury poisoning doesn't sound too promising to us;)
For the bad , i have recently found out after being out of touch about the diving world for the past year that Manta's and Mobula's are being huntedd to the brink of extinction . Yet another species we seem to wanna kill .
From India to Ecuador, manta and mobula fishing has become big business for fisheries who are selling their gills to be used in soups and traditional Chinese medicine.
It is believed by chinese practitioners that the gills of these rays can help reduce toxinsin the blood by purifying and cooling it , reducing blood temperature and aiding blood circulation. The are also killed by local fisherman to use their fins as bait to catch sharks. Some ever say their fins are to replace shark's fin due to the drastic decrease in shark populations around the world.
WHAT IS WITH US CHINESE AND SOUP THAT CAN HEAL EVERY DAMN THING WE CAN THINK OFF .
Lets put it this way , if it can do what it does? Every person in the world would live past 100 years old . Many people would go ' thats why the chinese population is one of the largest race in the world' . Well thats cause we are sex maniacs . So please lets not get sucked into unproven mindless nonsense .
If i feed you horse cum , i highlight 'in soup form ' does not mean you can run like the horse but i say it can , wil you drink it?
If you drank anything made by my body you;d definitely become awesomeXD but thats a special one in an infinite caseXD
My point is please dont believe everything say so easily especially when it involves the extinction of a vital species =)
Odd time to talk bout this but im home with alot of time . SO till next time tata =)
