Hooked: Woman to be Hung From Shark Hooks
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008
Performance artist, Alice Newstead will be hung from shark hooks for 15 minutes in the window of the Lush cosmetics store in Regent Street, London as part of a campaign to end shark finning.
The stunt is designed to mimic the fate of sharks caught solely for their fins.
The process known as finning is where a fin is hacked off and the shark thrown back into the water to die.
Newstead, who is a former employee of Lush, will be “hung” in the shop window at today at noon to promote the launch of their Shark Fin Soap, a blue soap made with seaweed and sea salt with a shark fin sticking out the top.
All funds from the sale of the soap will go to the wildlife conservation charity Sea Shepherd.

2007 people killed by sharks = 1
2007 sharks killed by people 100,000,000
Who is at risk here, if sharks had reduced the population of people by 90% like we have done to sharks then there would be a problem…
