| Subject: Blonde Bimbo: Bo Derek backs bill banning shark-fin trade Sat Aug 20, 2011 5:05 am | |
| Shark-finning has created a global environmental crisis, says actress Bo Derek, who is a US secretary of state special envoy opposing wildlife trafficking.
Derek joined politicians at the California state Capitol on Monday promoting a bill that would ban selling, trading or possessing shark fins, which are used in a soup that is considered a delicacy in some Asian cultures.
"Sharks have been around for nearly 400 million years, and yet many stocks may be wiped out in a single human generation due to the increasing demand for shark fins," Derek told the Senate Appropriations Committee.
