This is a commentary written by Gary Stokes of Sea Shepherd on how the slaughtering of sharks is a  Global crisis. It is definitely enlightening and worth reading. He expresses how we all need to "start working on getting your governments to enact new laws to protect sharks locally, and together we can all put a global stop to the shark fin industry." He states how The WildAid statement of “when the buying stops, the killing can too” is very powerful, as is the impact that WildAid is having globally. However if our governments are really in control of our natural resources, surely “if the supply stops, the buying will too” should also have a massive effect. If you don’t like what someone else is doing, simply cut them off. Don’t keep supplying them and taking their money and then criticize them; that’s just plain hypocritical and it reeks of corporate greed and personal interest. It’s just a simple basis of Supply & Demand. Lose one or the other and it’s game over; affect either and you’ll see drastic reductions.
