People who land shark-fins (and, preferably the buyers too) should be taken out
to sea, have their legs hacked off at the knee and be dumped into the water.

(And yes: similar punishment should be applied to any people who slaughter an
animal for a single small part of the animal's anatomy - ivory poachers, tiger-killers,
the lot).
