Shark Fin Soup Protest SF Chinatown
The Shark Safe Project is organizing a shark fin soup protest Demonstration in Chinatown.
The Shark Safe Project is starting 2009 “The Year of the Shark” with a protest demonstration in San Francisco’s Chinatown on January 25th at noon.
Please join us as we will be picketing several establishments including restaurants that serve shark fin soup and shark fin markets.
This is intended to be a peaceful demonstration yet an aggressive protest to convince these establishments to cease offering all shark products.
We will be carrying signs and handing out leaflets (written in English and Chinese). Our immediate goal is to educate the local population of the dangers of consuming shark fins and the devastation that shark fining is causing to our oceans. Hopefully convincing many local citizens to stop consuming shark fin soup and other shark products and to stop patronizing establishments that offer such products. Our long-term goal will be to have city ordinances passed to prohibit the import and distribution of all shark products in the city of San Francisco. Making San Francisco the first “Shark Safe” city in the USA.

Hi, my name is Azi. I'm 14 years old and the other day I was flipping through channels and I saw that a documentary was on about sharks. I love sharks, and i think that they are very gentle creatures. There so beautiful.
So anyways, as i started to watch "Sharkwater" by Rob Stewart, my eyes were truly opened. I had no idea what was going on all around me. I highly recommend this movie if you are a protester, such as myself.
It is extremely graphic and horrifying, showing every single detail; it has affected so much change.
Please don't stand by and just let this happen.
If you care, you can add me to facebook under the name "Sharkwater" I am only 14, so I have my whole life to fight for this cause, and i plan on doing so. I am going to start a protest group, in hopes that the Canadian government will step in and help the sharks all over the world.
If you have anything that you would like me to know or you would like to say, please send me an e-mail, and please suport what i hope will be an international movement.
Sincerely,
Azierena Louise McQuaker-Lee
