Screw the divers: The sad tale of Thern Da Seafood Pte Ltd.

Fancy some Mola Mola soup?

A few days ago, I witnessed an epic ground breaking turn around of events for the anti-shark fin movement on Facebook.

From an inciendiary status update announcing that “Screw the divers, Shark Fin and Mola Mola products to be available [in Singapore’s largest supermarket chain] by Chinese New Year” …

…to that supply company removing it’s Facebook page after being flooded with comments…

…to that that Supermarket chain (NTUC FairPrice) denouncing the supply company and announcing it would make no further orders for Shark Fin products!

THIS IS HUGE FOR SINGAPORE - another major supermarket chain, Cold Storage, already denounced shark fin in October last year.

This little controversy has boosted awareness of the anti-shark fin movement at it’s busiest time - the run up to Chinese New Year!
