JB Signs Shark Fin Ban Into Law

I never had/possessed shark fin; so I can't relate much. But I think I'm OK with the law?!

Yeah.....numerous studies have been done.

You can't tan and you can't eat shark fins.

Brown has got his shiit together.

I've had it once. Agree on the consistency. Flavor comes mostly from the broth.

Just a cultural 'delicacy' I guess.

If the point is to ban commercial shark fishing, then ban commercial shark fishing.

Or if you want to ban consumption, then ban the whole shark.

Taking the fin and throwing the body back is just as retarded as a law that lets you harvest the fish but wants you to cut off the fins and throw those back.

This bill is not going to curtail commercial shark fishing in the manner you described since most of the consumption doesn't even take place on this continent. All this is going to do is shift the existing consumption from California to Chinese restaurants in Vegas or some other states when people go there.

Nobody eats shark fins regularly in California. Not even the Chinese. Most of the consumption here takes place just as you described... Someone who has never tried it eats it once or twice to see what it taste like.

Killing a shark for their fins is a terribly stupid practice. But this is still a terribly stupid law.

Brown also just banned open carry of handguns in CA. Sounds fine except concealed carry is also illegal. So no concealed carry, and no open carry. I am waiting to see if it finally means no carry at all. How the hell am I supposed to take the gun to the car and back when I go shooting?

No, I am no fan of Brown. Too much of this "we can't ban your gun, so we ban your bullets instead".

Not a bad idea

It's really just to close a loophole. Illegal to do it but not illegal to possess a boat full of shark fins. How do u enforce that?

BTW it USED to be a cultural delicacy but now shark fin soup is relatively cheap n plentiful in parts of the world now Supply has definitely increased over the decades. Sharks r vulnerable to this practice. What's the prob w this ban? It's good for fishermen in my opinion.
