speak for yourself, asshole. i wouldn't mind paying the city's legal fees to save mother nature. in case you haven't noticed. mother nature can't just be replaced.
Me too. They cut off the fin and then throw the sharks back in the water to die...it's a sick, outdated practice that should be stopped immediately. And of course the city can pass a by-law to ban the serviing of shark fin soup. I don't see how the Ontario judge came to his conclusion; there's no enshrined provincial right to eat shark fins.
Hello? oagre is not supporting the sale of shark fin. He is saying that the council never had the power to pass a ban!
The ethics of eating shark fin soup aside, it is not in the jurisdiction of any municipality ( The City of Toronto included ) to forbid that consumption shark fin soup.
Why is it not within a city's jurisdiction? They can license food carts - what they sell, and where they can park; they make by-laws about food prep and storage for restaurants. Kensington Market used to have live chickens for sale; a by-law put an end to that.
Someone told me they did not create the by-law in the correct format.
Licensing of food cart has to do with the sanitary condition in which these food carts operate, there is also a traffic concern where in some areas you would not want any to hamper pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Selling of live chickens have to do with the sanitary condition, where you have live chickens, you have chicken shit. I had to look up what sannakji. is, but if there are no establishments serving it. Maybe there is no demand.
You miss the point, (insert adjective). The money wasn't wasted on saving nature, it was wasted on passing a law which they had no legal right to pass in the first place and then really wasted on defending it in court on a case that they had absolutely no chance of winning.
