Shark Finning and Shark Photos Showing This Collapsing Population |
 |
|
The 43rd annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology has reported that shark cartilage extract (AE-941, Neovastat, etc.) is not effective in the treatment of lung cancer. Charles Lu, M.D., the lead author of the study said that data supporting its efficacy in fighting cancer should be met with skepticism. He reported that no improved survival rate or tumor shrinkage could be found. It is worth noting, too, that consumption of shark meat may lead to ingesting dangerous amounts of mercury, a toxin that accumulates in the meat of apex predators such as sharks. Consumers should avoid all shark products, including traditional medicines and shark fin soup, as the collapse of the shark population is just around the corner. On this page are images showing the destructive shark finning trade. Be aware that many of these photos are graphic and disturbing.
