Well, it seems to have worked. The outcry of all the folks on ScubaBoard, along with everyone else who sent in an email, has prompted the Venetian to remove Shark Fin Soup from their menu. Here is their response to an email I sent:
Thank you for your email. We appreciate your feedback and want you to know we have removed shark fin soup from our menu.

So that’s good news. Looks like thats the email response that everyone has been getting. It would be nice if we could get some kind of verification of this…. Anyone?
