Really? I honestly don't know much about this, but since shark finning is almost completely unregulated and usually done out on the middle of the sea, couldn't it just as easily be even more widespread than activists portray?

A quick Google search directs me to stopsharkfinning.com, which reports tens of millions of sharks killed annually, which seems to fall in line with the NatGeo article that states 38M. That number itself could be smaller, too, but couldn't it also be bigger? Where do you get the info that it's actually less than normally portrayed?
