Shark Finning and Shark Fishing Photos Showing This Cruel Practice |

In addition to the use of shark fin in shark fin soup, shark has also been harvested for use in traditional Far East medicines. It is mistakenly believed by some that sharks are immune to cancer, and that consuming shark cartilage can prevent cancer or cause cancerous tumors to shrink. Studies have proved, however, that commercially available shark cartilage powders have no effect on cancer cell growth or the spread of skin cancer cells. Shark cartilage medicine is no more effective in treating cancer than a placebo. Unfortunately, patients suffering from cancer, especially those in the Far East who have insufficient access to modern therapies, are likely to grasp at straws in the hope of containing a potentially fatal disease. When it comes to human survival versus shark survival, on the world market, there is little hope for the shark. Be aware that many of these photos are graphic and disturbing.
