In this Feb. 12, 2020 photo, Ed Zirkel cuts the fins off of a shark after fishing off Madeira Beach, Fla. In the U.S., shark finning, the gruesome process of stripping living sharks of their fins, dumping the fish back in the water and leaving them to struggle for life, drown or bleed to death — has been outlawed since 2000. Two bills are currently moving through the Florida legislature to ban all fin sales, including those from fishing. (Chris Day/Fresh Take Florida via AP)
