    You are both right, it is illegal to hunt sharks. It's a matter of supply and demand.

    I believe that ban only applies to parts of the Atlantic ocean.

    Well in this case it was the Chinese but I hear what you are saying. THere seems to be a lot of killing going on for perceived strength and sexual prowess.

    Really though, every nation could do A LOT better at conservation.
