About time a celebrity stood up for sharks. When I was a little kid, I was given a book on sharks, where I read about how the fishers cut the fins off and throw the rest of the shark back into the water to bleed to death. I never ate sharks(back then, it struck me as weird) and never will, but it was then that I realized cruelty to sharks did exist, and it was wasteful as well as disgusting. But still, shark conservation didn't really hit me until I read an article in a conservation magazine about how the mouth of a river in Virginia had pretty much been depleted of its shellfish population because there were no sharks around to eat the cownose rays that were wiping out the bivalves. Trail of dominoes...... Sharks aren't my favorite animal and I would really hate to run into some of them, but they are nonetheless vital to our ecosystems. Good for her!

Now, if only she could charm the pants off China and convince them to give up the hideous slaughter in the name of shark-fin soup.
