Would Mickey Mouse Eat Shark 's Fin Soup
There was controversy at Hong Kong Disneyland before the park even opened in 2005. Disney Land in Hong Kong was known for its great weddings and wedding receptions and it also showed this was profitable business for Disney Land. Wedding Banquets are a large part of Disney Worlds Revenue. On the wedding menu, shark fin soup is offered as an option, a popular wedding dish in Hong Kong for over 200 years. Stock holders and supporters of Disney were enraged by this and began to boycott Disney. Environmental and animal right protection agencies are enraged about Disney serving this soup. They also begin to boycott Disney. Eastern and Western cultures clash. In the western culture sharks are seen as an endangered species. Their method of gathering shark fins leaves the entire shark (except the fins) useless and discarded. They believe that sharks are not considered a source of food even as a delicacy. In the Eastern culture shark fin is seen as a delicacy food. They believe this is just another food source gathered from the sea. The Eastern culture does not have any animal rights agencies like the Eastern culture does.
Disney did end up offering shark fin soup as a dish at Disney. Disney learned by doing this the stockholders and supporters began to protest. In response Disney than decided to remove shark fin soup from the menu unless it was specifically asked for. This still did not satisfy the protestors and global stockholders. In response Disney than decided to only gather shark fins from reputable sources. The stockholders and protestors were still unsatisfied by this. In turn Disney decided to remove shark fin soup altogether from the menu before the park opens. By Disney taking the sharks fin soup off the menu has now left stockholders and protestors very satisfied and the boycott ended at Disney word.
