Disney ditches shark fin soup

Article Summary:

As most of you know, Disney planned to serve shark fin soup at its Hong Kong location, provoking an outcry from conservation groups and much of the general public.  In a press release Friday, Disney said it has decided to remove shark’s fin soup from the menu, altogether.

“After careful consideration and a thorough review process, we were not able to identify an environmental sustainable fishing source, leaving us no alternative except to remove shark’s fin soup from our wedding banquet menu,’’ the press release said.
