Woman hangs herself from fishing hook to protest slaughter of sharks.
A performance artist hanged herself from shark fishing hooks to protest against the slaughtering of sharks.
Sharks are being slaughtered for their fins, meat, cartilage, liver and skin. According to recent studies, about 73 million sharks are killed every year. The data is three to four times higher than the official shark catch record maintained by United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).
Alice Newstead, a British performer, bled from her back as she hanged herself from the shark fishing hooks pierced through the skin of her back, Reuters reported from Hong Kong on Tuesday.

That must have hurt a lot.
But then different people have different dining habits... Chinese love sharks' fins a lot. Just like Aussies eat kangaroos and Japanese eating whale meat....
Anyway, sharks are just like any other animals that we eat, just that sharks are always killed only for the fins and thrown back to the sea cos the fins are light and the meat is heavy. If only fishermen bring the meat back as well, since we eat them as well. -
So if people started eating every other part of the sharks other than just the fins, it's okay ?

I guess so.
Cos what the ang mohs are unhappy is about is that only the fins is chopped off.. then thrown back to the sea....while the shark is still alive.... den the shark doesnt die instantly... but waits until it dies of starvation because it couldnt find food to eat without the fins to swim. -
this is shocking to me. i can't imagine anyone would go to this extreme for a cause. The way to change the world is to change ourselves. Going to this extreme only shock the world. It only induse pain and shock. If more and more people meditate, the collective energy will change the world in a slow and steady manner. As we meditate our good vibes will slowly change the world. The more good vibes we produce the better it is, for the world and ourselves, no need to hurt oneself like this, it's too graphic. Too shocking for kids. Not very wise.

Good sharing...that's in perspectively nice...although right approach but not so encouraging for well beings of its own body. As body is from parents, they should enjoy with it instead of extreme for a cause. They should explore good alternative like the below, and others

omg. i think it hurts alot

kudos to the brave woman~!!!! but i still eat shark fins (- -).......... onces in a while ...... when i go for wedding dinner.............

against these type of cruel killings but it's hard to stop the traditional sharksfins soups.
why don't these ang mos or some business minded people start to advocate eating the whole shark? then they would not be thrown back into the sea.
ang mos learn how to eat sharks meats just like asian, then it will be just another type of meat.
-
How about the angmohs stop eating their forest-clearing and methane-belching beef also?
-
It's the cruelty that's the problem... They cut off the fins and throw you back to the salty sea, alive... That's almost like cutting both your limbs and then putting salt on the wound... how do you like that being done to you?
-
Be vegetarian.
Problem-solved.
-
the fake version using crab meat tastes sort of the same as shark fin
they should try to replace it with crab meat

So if they can't swim, they will die.
