USA news media shark fin cover-up
The Texas State Legislature meets every two years, this year
2015 being one of those years. The
Dallas Morning News printed an article appearing 15 April 2015 written by
Robert T. Garrett.
The article reported the Texas Legislature is considering
pending legislation to ban shark fins in Texas.
The Genesis of this proposed ban can be located in the method used to
acquire the shark fins. Typically a
shark is captured, the fins sliced off, and then the shark still alive is
tossed back into the ocean. Without any
fins, the shark sinks to the ocean floor to die a slow miserable death. Absolutely barbaric.
The article claimed “Certain Asian restaurants in many parts
of the world, including big cities in Texas, reportedly serve shark fin soup as
a delicacy.” Really, “certain
Asian….?” According to an article
appearing in The New York Times in 2011 (see link below), the barbarism
committed against sharks is to satisfy the demand for fins in China, not
“certain Asian….”
Here we have a glowing example of the American news media
attempting to sanitize China’s soiled reputation in reference to shark
fins.

in the printed issue of The Dallas Morning News the photograph and caption was
