Smash a soup bowl for the sake of our sharks.
When was the last time you were encouraged to break things? This weekend, ACRES is inviting everyone to come into town to throw 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 many 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 for this World Animal Day, we are asking you to help reverse this habit, and start putting sharks back together.
You will be asked to donate $2.00 for each soup bowl, and the proceeds will go towards ACRES' education and animal welfare efforts. So come down to The Atrium@Orchard, near Plaza Singapura, to show that you care about animals, the environment and about leaving our marine legacy for future generations.
And have fun smashing bowls, breaking traditions and creating art- all at once.
Roadshow: Speak up for the animals and educate the public on the truth behind shark fin soup. Help us get people to sign the pledge not to take shark fin soup!
Bowl- Breaking: Be our carnival ushers and get people psyched up about smashing bowls!
Overnight Shark Guardians: Watch over our shark art display at night. Shark Guardians will stay at the Atrium from 10pm to 10am the next morning to protect our shark, so you will be very important in our fight to save the sharks. Do let me know which night you can make it, either on Friday night or Saturday night. (Volunteers for this have to be 17 years old and above, and preferably in teams of at least 2 volunteers!)
