San Francisco Citizen

Do you like shark fin soup? Some folk do, especially in San Francisco. But the people behind the Shark Safe Project DO NOT approve. So they’ve skedded a Shark Finning Protest Demonstration for January 25th in the heart of Chinatown.

Will San Francisco become the first “Shark Safe” city in the USA? Looks like we’re on our way…

And will the graffiti kids switch from girafa to friendly, smiling shark?

Only Time Will Tell.

No matter, these wailing souls will release their shark attack against various restaurants starting at noon on January 25th, 2009 in Portsmouth Square 花園角. (NB: Go before you go.)
