We urge you to support ocean health and healthy US fisheries by supporting the passage of the reintroduced  Federal Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act of 2021, HR 2811, (Sablan, McCaul) and the Senate version S 1106, (Booker). The Senate bill has been added as an amendment into the Endless Frontier Act, S 1260 by Senator Chuck Schumer (S, NY). These laws, when passed, will make it illegal to possess, sell and trade shark fin in the USA, and reduce the flow of fins of threatened and endangered sharks.

The sale and trade of shark fin is devastating shark populations globally driving overfishing and the reprehensible act of shark finning. We urge you to take the initiative and reintroduce this bill to help save sharks and protect USA fisheries and ecosystems.

It is estimated that over 100 million sharks are killed every year and Tao Heung is one of Hong Kong’s LARGEST restaurant groups with over 80 restaurants in Hong Kong AND 80 in mainland China still serving shark fin soup.

The company has resisted the trend in Hong Kong to drop shark fin soup from their set menus, ignoring the will of many Hong Kong people who are against this cruel, unsustainable and out-dated tradition.

Is Tao Heung going to wait until sharks go extinct before it admits that there is a problem?

Tao Heung has a firm corporate responsibility to end this cruel and unsustainable practice to save sharks and our oceans by immediately removing shark fin soup from all its menus, especially its set menus. Just as Hong Kong consumers have a responsibility to stop eating shark fin, restaurant groups like Tao Heung also have an equal corporate responsibility to stop selling it.

If you feel as strongly about this issue as HKSF does, please kindly

1,900 metric tonnes of wildlife products were seized in Hong Kong between 2015 and 2019. Equating to the loss of at least 1,700 elephants, 98,000 pangolins and many other species like sharks! Despite the huge volumes involved and their high values, wildlife crime in Hong Kong is mostly under investigated and under policed.
