Shark fin soup

Shark fin soup is a soup that some people like to eat. The soup is made from the fins of sharks, which are like the arms and legs of humans. Sharks get caught and their fins are cut off, which makes it very hard for them to swim and live. This is not good for the sharks, because they need their fins to live and survive in the wild.

Even though shark fin soup is a tradition in some countries, it's not good for the environment or the sharks. Eating shark fin soup is like taking a toy away from a friend, or like breaking a flower in a garden. We should always try to protect and respect the animals that live with us on this planet, and find other yummy foods to eat that don't harm the environment or animals.
