It’s definitely not a job I want to go into, that’s for sure. Shark fishing in Japan is a disgusting thing that is happening now. Kesennuma, one of the ports in Northern Japan, accounts for 90% of Japan’s shark fin trade.

Most people are claiming that the amounts are close to “the genocide of a species.” The fins are tossed into buckets, and the rest of the animals are put into a truck with a fork lift. In 2009, Kesennuma landed almost 14,000 tons of shark. A lot of people don’t know just how much Kesennuma accounts for the sharks that die.
