Save the Sharks!

If you had been to town a few weeks ago, you could have seen ACRES's Save the Sharks campaign. ACRES, which stands for Animal Concerns Research and Education Society.

Many people, especially the Chinese are extremely fond of eating sharks fin soup. But little do we know that beneath that bowl of soup, lies in a grave situation where sharks are massacred.

In some parts of the world, the population of sharks have decreased as much as 90%. Due to the increasing demand of sharks fin, sharks are now greatly endangered. And these poor creatures die horribly: People capture them, slice off their fins, and throw them back into the sea, leaving the sharks to die slowly.

Over 100 million sharks are killed each year for their fins, and in Singapore, every Chinese wedding banquet that serves shark fin soup, the world loses another 40-50 sharks.

ACRES's Save the Sharks campaign was to create awareness for this problem. And the public was welcomed to donate $2 to their funds to smash a soup bowl to save the sharks.

And they decided to turn it into shark art!

The art isn't completed until the enough bowls are smashed.

Break the tradition!

Jeremy giving a smash!

So please guys, either eat pseudo sharks fin soup, or find other alternatives!

Save the Sharks!
