I read where one guy stopped eating meat when he was young. His mother sent him out to kill a chicken for dinner and when he swung his blade into the flesh, he hit a tumor and it exploded puss all over him! Yummy!

Another point - Did anyone else hear about how they're planning to resolve the issue? Apparently they're going to handout leaflets detailing how the fins are obtaned with every bowl. Now is that marketing or what?

Disney is NOT going to serving the soup at all, here is the URL to the article,

Yes, that's good news. Sometimes it is just so hard for people to back down from stupid positions. I hope this sets a trend here in Hong Kong and the rest of Asia. Now I will try to book my tickets.

cute......ever think that some of the positions we have in the United States is considered 'stupid' to other countries? I could cite some examples, but I fear then the mob would come with pitchforks and torches.

*leaves the topic for good before the chance to become very very angry*

Cite away, there isn't much of a mob to fear...

It has now been confirmed that the elite DWT SWAT team has been deployed to the 'Shark Fin Soup' thread in anticipation of mob uprisings.

SWAT team deployed by the Hong Kong Restaurant Association to prevent further spread of animal-loving to such creatures as dogs, cats, armadillos, snakes and Civet cats.

It's called committed to your mistakes.

Thanks, Tampa. But who knows where those daring DWT men will turn up next

I think the whole reason this was not cool is because those animals are killed for one piece of their body. It's sad and ridiculous. Besides, with all the different kinds of fish out there, why allow your sister park to serve an extra controversial fish? It's not enough that people are ignorant enough to think that sharks are unintelligent man-eaters, now they'd have one more reason to kill them. If the Living Seas doesn't serve it, why should another park?

By the way, one of the funniest memories I have of the Living Seas restaurant was when my brother and I were about 9 and went there to eat with my family. We got the kids menu with Ariel and her friends on it, and one of the menu items was flounder. Isn't it ironic?

Shark doesn't taste too bad, I think the Coral Reef should serve it. . . . never had shark fin soup before. Why are people so upset about this? Sandwiches made of ground up cow meat are served in every Disney park, shouldn't that offend someone? Is a good shark steak any different than a good tuna steak? Is beef stew any different than shark fin soup? They are both made of dead animal parts.
Time for dinner!
