Extinction - Sharks

The slaughter of sharks in mass abundance
leaves numbers dwindling.
Delicacies such as shark fin soup shed fin-less corpses in the wake of tradition
wasting 95% of the body and
fracturing a staple of the ocean that has been around for roughly 450 million years.
Science has yet to find a proven medical benefit.
Some shark species have diminished as much as 98%
Is 100-745 yuen really worth losing a valuable link in the food chain?
