Reply to comment by Regnes in Historic ban on shark fin trade poised to become U.S. law by AmethystOrator

Good news about Hong Kong is there’s a strong decline in appreciation for it, and if memory serves me correct the endangered species is more strictly monitored. I could easily see it being banned soon with little push back from elder generations.

Imitation artificial shark fin soup is also becoming more popular there which is helping to reduce demand for the real thing.

If it's imitating artificial shark fin soup, is that not just.... Shark fin soup?

no lol I used a sort of double negative I guess, imitation shark fin made from some kind of artificial material is what I’m talking about

I really love the fake stuff. Here they make it with chicken eggs.

The real stuff is banned here since before i was born in the early 90s, i dont know why they keep on calling it sharkfinsoup though. Just name it eggsoup allready.
