Shark finning is the inhumane practice of hacking off the shark's fins and throwing its still living body back into the sea. The sharks either starve to death, are eaten alive by other fish, or drown. This happens to tens of millions of sharks every year meaning that since the 1970s the populations of several species have been decimated by over 95%. This is all due to the huge demand for shark fin soup in Japan and China.
