It has been brought to our attention that the Hong Kong Tourism Board under
its shopping mecca promotion has put Dried Seafood and the sale of SHARK FIN
in its 'Hong Kong Must Buy Items'. The link to the site is attached below.
Just click on the vote button and run the cursor over the Dried Seafood box
to see that shark fins are included in this choice.

The local green groups have voiced their concern in yesterday's South China
Morning Post, and now we are asking the international community such as
yourselves to spend 5 minutes in writing an email to the following people,
and condemn the HK Tourism Board and Government for running such a campaign:

Rebecca Lai, Commissioner for Tourism: tcenq@tc.esb.gov.hk
Chief Executive Tung Chee Wah: ceo@ceo.gov.hk
Miss Jacqueline Ann Willis, JP,
Hong Kong Commissioner to the US
: hketo@hketowashington.gov.hk

Please pass on this email to all appropriate parties.

Thanks,

Asia Shark Watch
