Shark Fin Ban Approved By California Senate Committee

The controversial shark fin ban may soon become a reality in California, as the LA Times is reporting the bill has been approved by the state Senate committee: “The bill, which would ban the sale, trade and possession of shark fins in California, has been championed by conservation groups as a way to curb the harvest of shark fins…[It] passed the Senate Appropriations Committee on a 5-2 vote and now moves to the full Senate, where a vote is expected within the next few weeks.” State Assemblyman Paul Fong supports the measure, arguing in favor of protecting the environment. “‘I’m proud of my Chinese roots, and our culture will live and survive without shark’s fin.'” Do you believe this bill is a threat to Chinese culture?

About Moye

I am a Japanese-American girl who was born, raised and is most probably stuck in traffic right this second in Los Angeles. I'm currently one of the co-editors of 8Asians and like to distract myself with good food, reading long books, playing video games, catching up on celebrity news, choosing my new new haircut and then writing all about it on Hello Moye and sometimes here on Twitter if I can get it in under 140 words or less. You can reach me at moye[at]8asians.com.
