Cathay stops carriage of shark fins

Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific on Thursday said it will stop carrying shark fins as cargo, bowing to pressure from groups concerned about cruelty and possible extinctions.

"Due to the vulnerable nature of sharks, their rapidly declining population, and the impacts of overfishing for their parts and products, our carriage of these is inconsistent with our commitment to sustainable development," Cathay said in a statement.
