I'm not against the sustainable harvesting of food, even dolphins / whales, if it's done such that everything they take is eaten, and the numbers taken do not mean the species involved are driven closer to extinction. It should be done humanely whatever the animal.
Shark finning is a terrible example of inhumane harvesting for vanity consumption. Millions of sharks are caught, their fins cut off whilst the shark is alive, and then the animal is dumped back in the water to die a lingering death. And all for something that doesn't actually taste of anything and is just used to show that the buyer has wealth.
I'm not averse to sharks being hunted for food if, again, as much as possible of the animal is used and it's done in a sustainable way with humane dispatch of the shark. Finning is none of that. It's the equivalent of walking out and cutting fillet steak out of living cattle and leaving them to bleed to death in the field.
As a game shooter, I'm keenly aware that all meat consumption means that an animal is dying in the process - I think many conveniently forget this when buying plastic wrapped meat from the shops. I'm never less happy on a day than when I've pricked a bird rather than killed it in the air. I'd rather miss them all than prick one of them. I've spent a lot of time / effort (and lost some blood) finding and killing pricked birds over the years as a beater. It's important that we do it - it's part of the bargain we make in our own minds, surely, when we get involved with game shooting.
There is no excuse for a shrug of the shoulders and "it's just a bird (or dolphin, or shark)". Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"
