More than 2,000 of the oceanic beasts were stripped of their fins and left for dead at the bottom of the Pacific.
Imagine the horror of the researchers who traveled to the Malpelo wildlife sanctuary off the coast of Colombia to study the hammerhead, Galápagos and silky sharks that inhabit the area: they found a number of them on the ocean floor, brutally murdered simply for their fins.

yeah, think of all the crabs in this area that are "brutally murdered". and all the lobsters up north that are "brutally murdered". and the corn in the midwest that is "brutally murdered". the cows in wisconsin that are "brutally murdered".
geez. was this article written by PETA?
kinda cool how that msg lined up! :)
Careful, 9:29, your ignorance is glaring. The area in which the animals were killed is protected and therefore the act was illegal. Slaughter of cows, crabs, or lobsters in season and within fishing grounds is not illegal nor is the harvest of corn as long as it is your corn. The trendy desire for shark fin soup is harmful in that only the fin is taken. The rest of these massive animals is discarded. Akin to the local wasteful practice of killing a buck for the rack only and leaving the carcass to rot on a roadside. If the rest of the shark was taken and utilized, this practice would not be so atrocious. So if only want the rack, can I dump all the carcasses on your lawn?
Stunning ignorance 9:29. No one cuts the claws off crabs and/or lobsters and then throws them overboard. No one cuts a steak off a cow and then leaves it to die in a field. Corn?...wow. The truely sad part is not this one find....the Japanese have been openly doing this for decades....its the knowledge that one day these species will be extinct, largely thanks to practices like these.
