Does shark fins actually have any real nutritional values or it's just pure myth? It doesn't really matter though, population of some shark species has decreased up to 80% in the last 50 years so this practice just has to stop.

Well, it has "real nutritional value", in the sense it provides calories, and probably aminoacids but nothing out of the ordinary or with medical value I'd suggest looking into the geopolitical issues behind the promotion of "traditional Chinese medicine"

    Replace "now" with "too". They've been killing pangolins for countless decades.
