Disneyland China bows to pressure over sharkfin soup

Lobster soup and seafood bouillon is to replace the controversial shark fin soup at Hong Kong Disneyland wedding banquets.

Last month, Disney decided to scrap shark fin soup, a symbol of prestige in Chinese banquets, after environmentalists protested and threatened to stage boycotts of the park when it opens on September 12. The activists say that the shark fin industry is decimating the shark population.
