The Lush and Sea Shepherd performance piece went off in London today without a hitch and Alice Newstead suspended herself on Shark hooks in order to showcase the plight of Sharks due to Shark finning.
I guess Alice Newstead IS pretty hardcore. I usually don't cotton to white people with dreadlocks, but hey, how can we argue with this chick?

We've said it before, but is bears repeating. Lush cosmetics is selling 11,416 bars of the Shark Fin Soap(No Sharks in the soap) to represent the number of Sharks killed each hour, with all proceeds going to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. *Ahem* As a bonus, the Shark Fin Soap campaign also serves to promote the use of soap by hippies. *rim shot*

A staggering 100 million sharks are killed every year for their fins (used in shark fin soup), flesh (15,000 fish and chip shops in the UK sell shark), cartilage (for "healthcare" supplements) and oil (used in cosmetics). The escalating cost of shark fins has led to a dramatic increase in the number of sharks being killed, which means that 90% of the world's population of sharks has already been wiped out.
