It's a pretty short article. Anyways, it's something I've been working for for a few months now. For the past few months, I've been collecting signatures around my school, collected about 500. I feel proud that I in a way help this become a law.

Yep. Though my petition didn't create a big impact. One main goal was to simply raise awareness which a majority of our school knows about now.

Nice work OC, as they say "Every little helps" :D

I didn't know about Shark Finning until it was in the poliwager press. With other pensions maybe getting names of here as a pention will also help? Just an idea :)

Yea, I thought of doing online petitions, but they say those are often fruitless because they aren't properly organized. People just post them with no idea who'll they sent it too, or what their goal is or when it is over.
