The Animal Welfare Institute is leading a nationwide effort to
contact restaurants in the US that currently serve the highly
controversial shark fin soup, asking that they consider the
precarious status of many of the targeted species and stop selling
the dish immediately.
Groups supporting AWI's campaign against shark fin
soup include:
Animal Protection Institute * Born Free USA *
Compassion Over Killing * Environmental Investigation Agency * Food
Empowerment Project * In Defense of Animals * International Fund for Animal Welfare *
International Marine Mammal Project of Earth Island Institute *
International Wildlife Coalition * People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals * Shark Research Institute * Shark Savers * WildAid * World Society for the Protection of Animals
