Leonardo DiCaprio Wants NYC To Ban Shark Fins!

Leonardo DiCaprio was instrumental in getting shark fin soup banned in California.
Now, Leo has set his sights on New York.
There is a pending shark fin bill in New York and he’s calling on people to support it!
He tweeted:

“We did it in Cali. C’mon #NewYork! RT @Oceana. Time is running out for bill banning trade of #shark fins. Act now: http://ow.ly/biCvC”

The bill would ban the possession, sale and trade of shark fins in New York.
Oceana, the organization spearheading the movement, said:

“Tens of millions of sharks are caught each year for their fins, and in some places these sharks are finned alive, a brutal practice in which a shark├óΓé¼Γäós fins are hacked off at sea, and the animal is thrown overboard to die.”

So sad!
C’mon, peoples!
Let’s ban the shark fins! Stand up for the sharks, New York!
