ACRES is inviting everyone to come into town to smash a soup bowl against a wall. The broken pieces will be used on the spot to create a work of art — a gigantic, 15m long mosaic of a shark.
As many as 100 million sharks are killed every year, and most of them end up in soup bowls across Asia. The shark fin soup tradition is wasteful and destructive, because when sharks die, the entire marine food chain also collapses.
So this 'World Animal Day' weekend, we are asking you to symbolically break this habit and send a message to the world that sharks are more valuable than soup.
You will be asked to donate SGD $2.00 for a soup bowl, and the proceeds will go towards ACRES’ education and animal welfare efforts.
ASIAN Geographic Society was thrilled to be supporting and be part of this awareness campaign. So come down to The Atrium@Orchard (beside Plaza Singapura) on the first weekend in October, to show that you care about animals, the environment and about leaving our marine legacy for future generations.
You'll be smashing bowls, breaking traditions and making an important statement — all at once.
