Peoples Voice Project Shark Fin NZ - Dive Planet

About Peoples Voice PSFNZ

Here at Dive Planet we will feature the remarks and points made by many of the visitors protesting and signing our Project Shark Fin Petition. We will publish as many comments as we can. Let the Peoples voice be heard far and wide as we speak up for our sharks. Protecting our Delicate marine ecosystem is all of ours responsibility.  

 

Hi Paul and Dive Planet Group,

I think it is fantastic that you are making us all aware about the plight of the sharks. This is something that I will spread the word about as we can make a stance against this and be victorious. Who else is going to speak for the sharks and make a stand for what is right. I don't like sharks really as they scare me but I do not believe any Species should be driven to extinction. Dive Planet has opened my eyes and maybe one day I will face my fears as you have and see them for the amazing creatures that they are. Thanks Lucas, NZ


 

I am some what suprised and shock a petition is even required, this brutality must be stopped, ( Rob Auckland)


 

Please stop the trade in sharks and shark products, especially finning. For a developed nation such as New Zealand I find it hard to accept that your government allows such barbaric bahavior in its territorial waters and terrestrial boundaries. Mark Thorpe


 

There is no way to justify this kind of behavior anymore and not on this scale. Ian, (International)


 

This is just barbaric and so out of touch with reality. Stu (Auckland)


 

Shark fining is not part of New Zealands culture so why do we allow this to happen. The NZ government needs to get some balls and put a stop to this practice by stopping the imports of shark fin products and they also need to impose massive fines against any person dealing in the sharkfin trade within New Zealand. ( Peter Auckland)


 

New Zealand comes across as a clean green welcoming country, so why does New Zealand allow this to happen. This has changed my view of New Zealand and I may chose another destination to visit as this is unacceptable, Steve (International)


 

New Zealand you must be proud of what you are supporting and allowing to happen, We are killing all our oceans by whaling and shark finning. We have to stop the slaughter before we lose them all. Predicted by research that 90% of sharks will be extinct by 2028 (International)


 Why !!!!!!!!! just to feed the asian market ? why !!!!!!!!! just for profit ? why !!!!!!!!! does the nz goverment support this ? IF YOU SUPPORT THIS EVIL TRADE IN ANY WAY THEN YOUR A WANKER. MAYBE WE SHOULD CUT OF YOUR ARMS AND LEGS, THEN SEE IF YOU CAN SWIM KIND REGARDS ANDY NZ


Great to have someone start this petition. Kane Hawkes bay

Comments: There is no need to do harvest shark fin like this,if i ever came face to face with one of these fisherman i would cut their arms and legs off and throw them in the ocean.Keep up the awesome work Paul Morris,cant wait to dive with the whites agian,this time actually see them up close.

Shannon International
I am very surprised that our country would even consider or allow such an act against our marine life. We already have less and less around these days and any further pressure will impact on our sea eco system dramatically. I presume its for Asian markets, well they should stop rapping and pillaging other countries. Its not out fault they did that to their own. Leave ours be ours! Its so disapointing. Mike Nelson

Look to the futrure and lets stop being barbaric. Nicholas Ltd NZ


Dont let our seas become deserts like theirs, John Northland
Hi, From what I have read on the Internet, tens of millions of sharks die every year a slow adonising death because of this. It is inhumane and barbaric to cut off the shark's fins leaving body in the sea. The sharks starve to death and are eaten alive by other fish, or drown. Unfortunately some Asian countries does not even think much of their humans, let alone animals. Yes it is right out barbaric by us humans. How can we do this. Think of this next time you eat sharkfinsoup or similar products. Tony International
Please stop shark finning in New Zealand.Alison Auckland
Comments: I've been diving nearly 37 years and have noticed a definite decrease in my number of shark sightings. Shark finning is a barbaric and inhumane practice and has no place in this day and age. Alan Northland
Comments: Sometimes I'm embarrassed to call myself human. Nikki Auckland
Comments: hope the next shark that has its fin cut off takes a hand with it. Antwan Auckland
Comments: Disgusting practice, people involved in this industry should have all rights to access the ocean removed... So strange that we are quick to protect the rights of animals on dry land, yet a fish is just a fish? and a human is just a ? Lance Otago
Comments: Stop shark finning please. Bryn International
Comments: Here is a PDF that I am sure many of you will find very interesting about the Pros of Shark Cage diving. Not only is shark cage diving providing awareness of the importance of the Great White sharks in particular, it is also allowing people to see these apex predators in their natuaral environment.
