| Subject: Statist idiots: Shark fin banned at official Hong Kong functions Fri Sep 13, 2013 10:38 pm | |
| Hong Kong's government has announced it will stop serving shark fin and bluefin tuna at official functions, in a move lauded by conservation groups.
In a statement, it said it would also encourage government-funded bodies to do the same.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, demand for the fins and other shark-related products has led to some shark species falling in numbers by 60-70%.
Hong Kong is one of the world's biggest markets for shark fin.
