A quick overview of the topics covered in this article.

As divers, especially divers who see sharks every day, we care dearly about the declining worldwide population of sharks. Shark finning is the prime contributor to the slaughter of over 100 million sharks each year.
At TSD we violently oppose shark finning, though not literally. In the UK earlier this month, an artist violently opposed shark finning, this time literally.

Ouch!
We heard about this event from Neil Hambleton, one of our regular customers, on his diving blog. Full report in the Daily Telegraph.
