I often marvel at some of the crazy laws that get passed by state
legislatures in the South. From
restricting the teaching of evolution in schools to liberal gun laws,
Texas is probably the biggest culprit.
But now it seems
the good 'ol boys have actually got something right for once with their
proposed new law banning the buying and selling of shark fins.
This rotten trade is stimulated by an obscene demand from Asians for a soup
that doesn't even taste that good. Sharks in their millions - yes,
millions - are being fished live, their fins hacked off and their bodies
kicked back into the water. No wonder world shark populations are
falling dramatically, with many species at serious risk.
So Yeeee-Ha!! I'm a Texan for today. The full story is here: http://bit.ly/WwjJZy
