According to an Al Jazeera English report, a motion that would make it illegal to own, sell, or consume shark fin in Toronto has been proposed before the City Council.

Like similar shark fin bans elsewhere, the proposed motion in Toronto has drawn some criticism due to shark fin soup’s place in Chinese culture, such as the tradition of serving the soup at wedding banquets. The Al Jazeera report features opinions from members of Toronto’s Chinese community who both support and opposed the proposed ban.

The motion is expected to be voted on later this year.
