To the Brazilian government and governments worldwide:

We, concerned global citizens, urge you to swiftly implement a ban on the cruel shark fin trade and the import and export of shark meat. Protecting these species is crucial for marine ecosystems and biodiversity. By taking decisive action and closing all loopholes still allowing for shark slaughter, you will contribute to the preservation of our oceans and the sustainability of our planet.

Stop the shark slaughter!
10,000 sharks were just poached for their fins in Brazil – the largest shark massacre ever.

Sharks are majestic animals: they have roamed the oceans for 450 million years, and they protect precious marine environments like coral reefs by keeping them balanced.

But their fins sell at a high price and that trade is still legal in Brazil – a deadly incentive for ocean poachers who hack them off living sharks, before throwing them back into the deep to die a slow agonising death.

Now this massacre could be a turning point: it’s been all over the news, and the government could finally close this loophole – but only if they feel the public outcry won’t go away until they ban the shark fin trade. So add your name now, and when it’s massive, we’ll take our call to introduce a new ban straight to allies in Congress. Sign and share!
