Conservationists target HK officials over Disney dish

Environmentalists have taken their campaign against Disney's plan to serve shark's fin dishes at its Hong Kong theme park to the territory's political leaders, activists announced yesterday.
One green group urged the government to step in and force the US giant to withdraw the dish, the popularity of which it says has led to sharp declines in shark populations.

"As a major stakeholder in the Disneyland project, we would ask the government to use its considerable influence to persuade Disney to take shark's fin off their menus as an example to other major food outlets and to show, particularly to their younger clients, that Disney and Hong Kong are environmentally responsible," the Friends of Hoi Ha group said in a weekend letter to Environment Minister Sarah Liao (???).
