Sharkie
The Damsel Defender
Hey everyone!!
I had a favor to ask all of you, as you know shark finning is widely popular around the world and many of the US area sharks are suffering dearly because of a few loopholes in the conservation act of 2000.
With the aquariums help we are trying to get those loopholes closed for the act of 2009 and protect the last of the sharks we have!!
So all you have to do is go to this link and fill in your information.

This is what the message say:
"Dear Senator,
I support the Shark Conservation Act of 2009 (S. 850.)
This bill is an important step towards ending the cruel practice of shark finning – where sharks’ fins are sliced off and their bodies are thrown overboard to die.
The Shark Finning Prohibition Act of 2000 contained several loopholes that have allowed this terrible practice to continue.
The Shark Conservation Act of 2009 attempts to close these loopholes by making it illegal for any vessel to transfer shark fins to the U.S. and requires that all sharks being landed on U.S. shores have their fins attached.
The 2009 bill also allows the U.S. to take action to influence countries that continue the practice of shark finning.
Sharks play a vital role in the ocean ecosystem. Shark finning is severely impacting populations of this important species.
We must act now to end the wasteful practice of shark finning that is threatening many species of shark with extinction.
I urge you to please close the loopholes in the current legislation and enact the Shark Conservation Act of 2009."
so basically it sends it to whoever the senator in your area is and hopefully with enough it will help close the loopholes... if you want pass it around to everyone you know and get these sharks protected! :D
Thank you!
((hopefully this is allowed, and in the right place!))
