This is what you don't see when you have shark's fin soup...

A mutilated whale shark lay helpless on a beach in the Philippines, dying slowly as fishermen and tourists strolled by.

Its fins had been hacked off by hunters who had then dumped it in the sea to die. For the Pacific fishermen who towed it to shore to give it a quicker death, it was a tragically common sight.

This death was different, however. It was recorded by a group of Hong Kong tourists, whose three-minute video may have done more for the campaign against shark's fin consumption than any costly PR exercise. More...
