I once attended a real Chinese wedding in a temple in San Francisco. The wedding banquet was mostly all sea creatures, and I was amazed at how many sea species appeared...some while, some chunked, some pieces in other dishes. They had shark fin soup, which looked horrible and I refused to try it, along with ALL of the rest of the meal, except for white sticky buns and rice.

It seems that we really don't have too much respect for most other species. We routinely kill animals of all kinds for profit, regardless of whether we truly NEED their flesh, their fur or whatever. Sport hunting is a global disgrace and I am often ashamed to be a member of MY species.

I am too cate ashamed to be a human. There is no respect for any creature on this planet anymore...and it sucks. That is why I fight so hard for all creatures large and small, in water or in the trees...

But actually the great white is a fish, not an animal and this fish scares me. With animals they are warm blooded and you pray you have a chance if you accidently encounter one of the dangerous ones. Personally I stick to swimming pools:)

I think man has passed the great white shark by for the honors of being the greatest killers to ever live and are responsible for the most deaths and haunt the most nightmares. We should fear man.

I feel the same way all of ya'll feel, I fear man not animals.

Me, too! That's what I assumed the article would be about when I first saw it!

Another thought provoking article Steve and one which is spot on!
Humankind is the most fearful 'animal' on our planet, with no respect for the balance of Mother Nature; killing off entire species for food or other desires, without regard to the ramifications of his actions. We see it in our daily lives, habitat loss, over fishing and the continued destruction of our natural resources all in the name of greed. More, more, more is what the consumer demands and the suppliers are only too happy to meet those demands without the thought of future supply.
How long before our Eco-system collapses?
Keep spreading the word Steve, with combined efforts from around the planet we may be able to bring enlightenment to those who give no thought to their actions.
In other words, perhaps those who demand such things such as shark fins for their soup will wake up to a 'duh' moment! :O!

You know there really is still a chance for peace and that chance will definitely increase if we each do our piece. So let’s make peace -- in our homes, in our own hearts, in our relationships, in our communities, in all of our dealings and in the world. Peace be with us all.

Kim S. was spot on with her remarks! We CAN make a difference!
Thanks for sharing, Steve.

My first thought was bush - peeked and found the answer. Whoops, I was wrong. It's the The Great White.

There is a movie/documentary called "Sharkwater": http://www.sharkwater.com/downloads.htm

HD: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/shark.html

There is a petition to save the Shark too: http://www.sharkwater.com/savesharks.php

Three species of sharks have gone extinct. Other species are threatened/endangered. Just to think that sharks have been around for millions of years. And, yet, man has been around for a few thousand years. Look what man has done to the sharks within the last 50 years. A shame...

TY, Lee.
