BOYCOTT Carrefour!!!

What a DISAPPOINTMENT...
Selling SHARK'S FIN in their hypermart?

Sold among Dory fillets and Tenggiri?


There are campaigns worldwide to ask governments to stop shark finning.
Why? Because of the depressing facts below:

Fact 1: It is estimated that 100 million sharks are killed annually;
Fact 2: A recent estimate of sharks killed in the fin trade alone stands at 73% of the total number of sharks killed;
Fact 3: The fin is considered the most valuable part of a shark, selling for more that US$700 per kg (compared with US$10 per kg for its meat!); Therefore, many fishermen are practicing live-finning where they cut off the fins and let the shark die in the water!




WHAT'S YOUR DECISION?
Your decision changes how the world looks like...

Bro....thanks for the post...but take a minute to think(more if u r slow)...if ever u can say that they can sell a kilo of the fins for 700dollars, how r u gonna get it for 9.90ringgit in carrefour?

it seems that u have a lack of experience in this food n beverage area. It seems u don even know at all what u r talking about n still u wanna post bout this. What a shame.

Do yor homework before blogging about anything facts. And the fact is that thee fin's sold at CF are all artificial. not a single one is the real thing.

And I am very sure of this because Im in the chinese kitchen for 8 years before and now Im a head purchaser in a reputable hotel.
