Sea Shepherd's Shark Finning Film (warning: not for sensitive viewers)

I was recently sent this link, which is on YouTube. Judging by the comments it is upsetting a lot of people. It is brutal. It is also a direct analogy to the barbaric practice of shark finning. Sharks in Deep Trouble has equally violent footage, but of sharks being finned, blood squirting from their finless bodies. What's the difference? Do we really think it hurts less, or that we have a right to life anymore than sharks or other animals we brutally slaughter, and thus drive to extinction? I think not.

I think it's a brilliant ad, as much as I dont support the way that Sea Shepherd goes about certain things. It hits the mark, and gives the message perfectly.
