There are different stages to the shark fin trade, weather you are the one eating shark fin soup, making it, or you’re the fisherman being seduced by the money of a buyer to kill sharks, action by anyone within these levels against the trade can and will help stop this barbaric delicacy.

About 73 million sharks are slaughtered yearly to satisfy the growing demand for shark fin soup in Asia — disrupting the fragile balance of marine ecosystems. We need shark in our ocean and not on our plates. When the buying stops, the killing can, too.

These are the types of things we see all too often as rescue volunteers.

This poor girl was left in her cage with a live rabbit for 7 days before her owners realized she hadn’t eaten the rabbit, and instead it had begun feeding on her. The photo doesn’t even show how severe the damage is. There are old scars and partially healed wounds all over her body from a lifetime of irresponsible live feeding. She was dehydrated and possibly has a respiratory infection. She was just rescued last night (8/19), but hopefully with some TLC she will recover.

I can’t stress to people enough, please do the proper research before getting an animal. DO NOT feed live prey if at all possible, and if you must feed live, NEVER leave a live rodent unattended with your snake. These animals do not deserve to suffer like this because people are choosing to be ignorant. Educate yourselves.
