Hypocrisy
We’ve lost >70% sharks since 1970s
Apex predators keep ocean and corals healthy - losing sharks is ecocide which eventually is “peoplecide”
All sharks need urgent protection
#Vigo: Up to 8 shark fishing vessels are unloaded in this port per week, plus reefers and containers. However, during ministerial meetings with @VSinkevicius not a single #shark was unloaded . Why can´t the #fishing industry show its daily operations when high officials visit?🤔

A big thank you also to @CGreenUK for supporting our efforts to get an #EUSharkFinBan done at @EU_Commission as well as voting for UK Shark Fins Act. 🤩🙏🏼🦈💙🇬🇧🇪🇺

Die @EU_Commission verlangt als Antwort auf die erfolgreiche #EuropäischeBürgerinitiative (#EBI) @StopFinningEU, zu viel Zeit für eine Folgenabschätzung für ein Handelsverbot von losen Haiflossen in der EU.
Zeit, die die Haie nicht haben! #FinBanNow #StopFinning @prowildlife

Hooray! We did it! Congratulations to all who helped get the UK #shark fin ban over the line. From today there is a prohibition on the import and export of shark fin products into the UK. It passed into British law at midnight!

Last day of #EPlenary, with many subjects debated, but one particularly close to my heart: @Europarl_EN echoed the voices of ➕1 million 🇪🇺 citizens asking to ban the trade of shark fins. #sharkfin @saveourseas @pcanfin

"Pour stopper l'hécatombe des éléphants, on a interdit le commerce de l'ivoire. Pour sauver les #requins nous devons interdire le commerce de leurs ailerons !
Monsieur @VSinkevicius, des millions de citoyens comptent sur vous."

"La pratique cruelle du #finning (découpe d'ailerons de requins à vif) est interdite dans l'UE.
Pourtant l'UE reste l'un des principaux exportateurs d'ailerons !
On continue à tuer massivement des requins pour le commerce d'ailerons, au mépris de la #biodiversite"

Sharks are endangered due to high demand for shark fins on international markets.
Discussed with organisers of EU Citizen’s initiative ‘Stop Finning – Stop the Trade’ how to stop this practise.
#EUTaketheInitiative is important tool of participatory democracy.

The EU is a main shark fishing culprit, exporting around 2,000 tonnes of #shark fins per year to China. To protect 🦈 populations Europe must 🛑 the #shark fin trade!
