SOME of Shanghai's top hotels have taken shark fin off the menu in response to calls to protect the species and end animal cruelty.
The list includes Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts and Peninsula Shanghai. However, the cuisine, a popular delicacy in Asian countries, is still readily available in many other venues.
Animal welfare groups say more effort is needed to save a species on the brink of extinction with about 1.5 million sharks slaughtered every week for their fins.
