A quote from Quero "There is hope, but only when the demand for these goods disappears. And that will happen not by force, but by informed choice." About cultural differences and Shark finning! On a thread on this board.....I couldn't agree more with you! But consistency counts! The diver in this case had "Informed Choice" as do all shark divers on shark dives! No one stands on the back of the boat and throws divers in with the chum!
