Congress Pushes for True Shark Finning Ban
Posted on April 17th, 2008 by vicezilla
A recent decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has prompted Congress to introduce the “Shark Conservation Act of 2008.” This legislation would close loopholes exposed in the court decision by improving existing laws, originally intended to prevent shark finning.
The Act would require sharks to be landed with their fins, improving current laws that only require fins and carcasses to be landed in a specific ratio.
