Two interesting videos in light of City Council’s determination to have a municipal ban on shark fin soup. The City Solicitor has filed a notice of intent to appeal a court decision last month ruling the city’s ban on shark fins was illegal. Council must decide if all this effort is worth it but Scarborough Centre Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker has said that support among councillors for banning the fins remains strong. Above, on the left, a woman renders a bravura performance as she throws what is said to be mock tantrum when denied a bowl of shark fin soup because of environmental concerns. You decide, if you can, just how real this is. On the right, is a video from the BBC reporting on seizures in Hong Kong of both ivory and shark fins. Well reported.
