So idk anything about this and I have no horse in this race. However, are any sharks used for shark fins endangered? If so, then I get it and I agree the trade should be banned. But if not, I'm not really sure why this is is a big issue outside of animal activists.

If we don’t stop, there are entire species that will go extinct as a result.
