The guy's calling the Chinese community racists, and now you're trying to make light of it. Lame attempt at humour if there ever was one.

There is absolutely nothing to with race with regards to this issue, what a lame attempt at trying to validate an extremely inhumane practice.
Well, to be fair, there are more "humane" ways of slaughter than others. There is a certain standard that must be met for slaughtered Canadian livestock for example.Humans in general are inhumane. If we were humane, we would all become vegans. Just because we bought it from the supermarket doesn't mean an animal wasn't slaughtered to be sold to humans.

4. As much as I disapprove of veal, etc. (and I strongly do) At least they are not wild animals being hunted.
What makes wild animals being hunted any better than animals raised for food? Just because they live in the wild, they're better than the ones raised on farms so the ones raised on farms are okay to kill and feed to humans. Ones living in the wild are precious and should be saved? If that's so I hope if there's ever reincarnation, I end up in the wild. It's a double standard.
I'm just regretting the type of ecological destruction that the seas are subject too just because you can't grasp their health so easily. People would not (and do not) tolerate the scale at which sea animals are killed for consumption. We think back to the extermination of bison as a tragedy, but people show a similar disregard for massively important animals like cod or tuna.
Yes, I totally agree. But I wanted to point out that the support and initiative for this ban is based on the qualitative aspects of the food and its procurement, rather than the actual quantitative environmental impact it has. A bunch of politicians getting their names in the media at the cost of reducing cultural diversity (that the left projects itself to be so tolerant of), and the whole government hand dictating what we should eat/not eat. That's what bothers me the most.
I bet that everyone who opposes the shark fin sales also opposes the Canadian seal hunt. It's got nothing to do with this being a 'foreign' issue.
This is a Toronto issue at this stage. Most people I've met in this city aren't very fond of the seal hunt or the tar sands. The Federal government supports both, and is unlikely to take action on sharks.
On Thursday Bill C380 was introduced in the House of Commons, just as I suggested needed to happen months ago. We'll see where it goes from here but I'm very optimistic. Comparing the tar sands and seal hunts is a whole different issue than shark fins.
I don't think seal hunts and sharks fins issue is all that much apart. They claim it's inhumane to hunt sharks for their fins and sharks are dying out. I say it's inhumane to club seals to death. I'm sure the seals population will be in danger soon or later too if they keep at it. They don't multiply like fishes.
