Ding, ding, ding.
A year before Ramsay filmed Shark Bait, he went on a recreational shark fishing trip to kill two sharks for fun where it took 10 minutes for the sharks to suffocate...
And, even after Shark Bait aired, Ramsay continued to serve endangered animals at his restaurants like atlantic halibut, european eel, bluefin tuna, etc...
If Ramsay really wanted to save the environment, it seemed like he could do a lot more to shine attention on the endangered animals his restaurants and his audiences were eating rather than a Chinese delicacy that he or his followers weren't going to ever touch in the first place.
