Petition for the regulation of the commerce and trade of sharks and rays in the united arab emirates

Begins
Ends
United Arab Emirates

25.14342, 55.321655

 

Over the past years I have noticed that every summer in Dubai goes on a trade of sharks and rays that is exported to the asian markets. A few days ago about 300 sharks were landed on the markets of Deira markets. Hammerheads, bulls, balck tips, guitar, greys, mako and mobulas. In some cases in previous summmers it has been noted that up to 600 sharks were sometimes found on these markets.

 

Dubai acts as a hub for the region all sharks from the middle east lands in here.

I have put together a petition for the minister to act however we need him to act before the end of ramadan.

Please help me and sign the petition
