Deceptive labels for shark dishes
The complete extinction of sharks is imminent. For more than 400 million years they have dominated the oceans. People exterminate them in a few decades.

And as history shows: what once is extinct does not come back again.

The fishing industry is mercilessly hunting the sharks and offers them as shark steak, shark filet or shark fin soup.      
But shark dishes are rarely offered under their real names but usually under different "trivialized" descriptions. The reason for that is simple: the customer shall not notice what it is in reality.

The fishing industry is very imaginative and labels shark dishes with complete new descriptions. Therefore hands off from the following dishes and products in restaurants, snack stalls and supermarkets because it has shark inside:

Only by a complete renunciation of all shark products the world's remaining shark population can be rescued. This means: if fewer sharks are consumed, less sharks get hunted because demand determines supply.
But as long as shark products are consumed the fishery does not stop hunting them. Thus, any consumer of shark dishes is directly complicit in the extinction of sharks. It is time for action!
