Sharks fin

Okay kiddo, so there's something called a shark that lives in the water. It's a big fish that has a fin on its back.

Some people like to eat the fin of the shark because they think it's a special food. But taking the fin off the shark hurts it really badly!

Some people think it's mean to hurt the shark just for its fin. Plus, taking too many fins can make it so that there are no more Sharks left in the ocean, and that's a sad thing, right?

So it's important to be careful about how many sharks we take fins from and how we catch them so that we can keep them safe and happy in their home in the water!
