    Sharks are captured at sea, their fins sliced off while still alive, and the finless bodies tossed overboard to drown or bleed to death. This practice of shark finning results in over 100 million sharks dying each year, with up to 98% of the shark's body discarded just for their fins to be used in shark fin soup, a delicacy in some Asian cultures. While shark finning has been prohibited in the USA, more can be done by pushing local state representatives to ban shark fin trade and spreading awareness about this issue.
