    My question to you is this: Why do you feel like Shark Fin Soup is fine for us to produce and consume in the game?
    It's a game, if everything in the game that has a potentially negative analogue in the real world were removed, we would have a very different game.

    Megalodon is not tied to a destructive real world industry, it died out around 2 million years ago(Edit: thanks to tired eyes, I failed to spot the decimal point, it's 2 (two) million, not 20 million as I originally commented), and as such is not tied to anything in the world except the study of fossils and long extinct creatures of pre-history.

    Why do you assume anything regarding how I feel about Shark Fin Soup? I have no problem with an in-game items because I can separate pretend from real. As a society we do not filter our entertainment based on what the most vulnerable individuals perceive as real or pretend. If we were to do so, there's not a lot in the worlds of literature, TV, Movie or video game that would survive intact.

    That is the heart of the issue here, and also why I believe that the OP is not sincere in his post. You have to deliberately read an agenda into the color text of the Shark Fin Soup that is in the game in order to take offense. Not to mention the fact that in some parts of the world Shark Fin Soup is a delicacy, and not seen in a negative light.

    Personally I'll have no part of anything related to Shark Fin Soup in reality. But that has nothing, and I mean nothing, to do with a craft item in a video game.

    I'd just like to add that I will not reply in this topic any more. I'm annoyed with myself for feeding this insanity, I should have withdrawn earlier.
