he Shark Alliance marked Global Ocean Policy Day by calling on EU Fisheries Commissioner Joe Borg to strengthen one of the EU's most important and far-reaching policies for sharks: the ban on "finning", the slicing of fins and tossing the body at sea.T

When is some celebrity chef going to fry a dog turd and serve it up garnished with freshly scraped floor sweepings, accompanied by devilled bogies with an earwax coulis served on bed of green snot. I'm sure it would have more flavour than shark fin soup which must rank as the most disrespectful use of an animal on the planet. So wasteful in fact, it almost makes the Canadian seal murder look respectable! What sort of person eats or is it drinks shark fin soup? I'm also sure that if Ramsey or Oliver were to eff and blind over the above confection the stupid plonkers that patronise restuarants in the belief that they are cool, hip or whatever motivation is required to visit them would line up to eat a plate full of crap provided it had a French name tag on it: Merde du Maison Chien. Will that be medium or rare Sir? Let us hope we do not have to make the Maltese Cross to achieve an end to this awful animal carnage and waste of a noble creature! This is almost as bizarre as EU regulations requiring fishermen to dump dead fish back into the sea that don't conform to EU rules!
