A woman in China broke wildlife protection laws after she purchased a great white shark and later ate it. The food blogger Jin posted a video in July last year which showed her illegally buying and then consuming the shark, which received a lot of backlash online. The great white shark has been classified as a vulnerable species whose population has declined. Authorities have now confirmed that she was fined 125,000 yuan (US$18,500).
