Shark finning mostly happens in Costa Rica where they use the funs as soup. And the shark fin soup is a sign of wealth. And we should stop this.

Shark finning is the practice of catching sharks, cutting off (and keeping) the fins, and throwing the rest of the shark back into the ocean. Shark fins are regarded as a delicacy in some cultures.
All over the world, but mostly in Asia
No. Regardless of whether a state is on the ocean, shark finning is illegal in the United States. What's more important now, especially in landlocked states, is whether trade of shark fins is legal. If it's legal to buy or sell shark fins in Nevada that will contribute to shark finning elsewhere, including other countries with lax laws. So far a few U.S. states have banned shark fin trade. I don't think Nevada is one of them.
Because people can make money from collecting, selling and trading with the fins.
It is illeagal to sell shark fins in the state of Tennessee . The law was made in 2010 even though we don't usually have alot food with shark fins in it the state wanted to be sure to indicate that it is wrong to sell,buy,or trade shark fins. Even though there is still shark finning going on Tennessee and california helped stop shark finning
Shark finning. ALL sharks are seeing a decline in numbers as shark finning is threatening their chance of survival.
yep. its Ilegall The other person who first answered/edited above is definitely incorrect. First of all around the world only 17 countries have banned shark finning around there coasts. Globally every other country than the 17 countries that have banned it it is perfectly legal to fin sharks. But besides these facts other countries there are some other countries that do have some regulations but are so poor that they are in essence useless... But to answer this question no, shark finning is not banned. -4545ninja
They put nets in the ocean and then catch sharks. Most sharks are still alive and they shark finners cut off the sharks' fins. The shark is normally still alive and gets thrown back into the ocean because the body has high amounts of mercury. The shark dies a painful and torturous death by drowning without fins,
