Jim Toomy gives an example of stress caused upon sharks by fisherman hacking their fins for soup broth

  Comic artist Jim Toomey brilliantly drew a story line of the difficulty sharks face when having their fin sliced off Sherman. Sherman nearly died and had to be operated and eventually he was able to track a new fin on-line to be ordered and sent to him through the mail. The problem of sharks losing their fins is another example of Asian neurotic ism is diet and that they have their brain nailed down all of seas life is open for edible chunk food and how Shark fin soup can even be thought of as a delicacy shows the nature of the far East.

Thousands of left sharks are taken from the waters having their fins cut off and then they are thrown back into the sea in a cruel and deliberating manner of Asian fisherman and a public in Asia willing to deplete and extinct these creature sthat have been around for three hundred and fifty million years. Jim Toomey was obviously horrified reading how many sharks face a demise in this humiliating manner and are so discarded just to make a couple of barrels of stanky odd soup broth and basically sharks should not be destructed in order to feed the odd habits of hobits in the far East.

Most sharks are not as lucky as Sherman to have a strong social network that shark nursed him back into health and then quickly went on-line to order a set of new and flashy fins to be sewn on his back. Shark Fin Soup is a brutal food item that kills many of these important fish that are needed to clear and clean the delicate ecosystem of the seven seas.
