Advertising words of public service advertisements for shark protection in Yao Ming

1. Yao Ming public service advertisement for shark protection:

If you can see how shark fin soup is made and how shark fins are cut off, it is estimated that more than 7 million sharks will eventually die for shark fin soup every year, will you still buy it?

Nearly one-third of shark species are endangered, but we can save them. "Remember, without buying and selling, there is no killing."

Extended information:

1. Ways to protect sharks:

(1) Social media should increase publicity to make people realize the importance of protecting sharks;

(2) The state strengthens the construction of laws and regulations, and sets a fishing ban period to allow sharks to have a period of reproduction;

(3) advocate consumers to change their lifestyles and reduce the consumption demand for "fishbone".

2. Protection level of sharks

(1) The total number of sharks has been greatly reduced-it has dropped by 8% in the past 5 years

Because the price of shark fins has been rising continuously, fishermen from all over the world have been attracted to kill sharks in the sea, resulting in unbalanced ecology in the sea and some sharks are endangered.

Because the value of shark meat is very low, shark fin fishermen only cut off the shark's fins and throw them back into the sea to keep more space for storing shark fins with higher value.

These sharks will not die immediately, but they will suffocate due to the loss of cruising ability, or they will be preyed by other sharks. Some concerned animal and ecological groups vigorously publicize and ask the public not to eat shark fin, mainly because the process of killing shark fin is cruel, but also because the total number of sharks has been greatly reduced-by 8% in the past 5 years.

It is estimated that 1 million sharks are killed worldwide every year, and the annual output value of shark fins reaches 1.2 billion dollars. It is precisely because of the huge interests involved that the industry has been accused of involvement of triad activities.

(2) About 7% of shark fin is polluted by mercury

About 7% of shark fin is polluted by mercury and lead, which may pose a threat to health if eaten in large quantities. Shark fin also has no special nutritional value.

In fact, because industrial wastewater is continuously discharged into the ocean, the amount of oil entering the marine environment is as high as more than two million tons every year, which makes the content of heavy metals in seawater high. Sharks are at the top of the marine food chain, and after swallowing other fish, the heavy metals in food also enter sharks and accumulate, so the content of heavy metals in sharks will increase.

After eating shark's fin, mercury and other heavy metals enter the human body, which is difficult to be excreted, but accumulated in the body, which will damage the central nervous system, kidneys and reproductive system, leading to dizziness, headache, muscle tremor, oral ulcer, kidney damage, sexual dysfunction and abortion.

sharks must be imported whole, not just the shark fins. The international fisheries organization is also planning an agreement to ban shark fishing in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, but there is no corresponding ban plan for the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

mass killing of sharks at the top of the pyramid of marine ecosystem will lead to a large number of small and medium-sized fish exploding due to the loss of natural enemies, thus seriously disrupting the whole marine ecological balance.

Yang Guangwang-Yao Ming joined in public welfare and shouted to protect sharks.
