Maybe Greenpeace should also chase any commercial fishermen catching shark only for the fins.We as humans are busy catching the last 10% of the worlds fish stocks. Oh yes even bass !Most people find sharks dangerous,most of them never saw one dead or alive,so the only way to make a difference is to educate.Not too many record fish are showing in the lists lately.WE ALL are to blame.Japanese and Chinese people have their own set of principles:eat anything that has legs,accept for a chair or a table,anything that flies,accept for a plane,and really everything that swims or lives in water..so there you go..
