Not as devastated as the shark was. 

Maybe take this as an opportunity to show him that these trinkets belong in the living animal rather than as a tourist trinket or folk/witchcraft potion ?

sharks can grow back their teeth, it wasn't a problem

Number of sharks drop worldwide because they are harvested for their finns, not their teeth.
Shark fins is apparantly a delicacy.  So what happens, is many South-Americans and other poor people poach the sharks, cut their finns and throw them back in the water.  That's why there's less sharks in the world.  Not because someone found a tooth, on a beach, and made a necklace out of it.

Shark swedes apparently are not a delicacy, so don't worry.

I ain't too strong on fish & sea life, and one thing I ain't touching is any kind of fish soup.
I've seen shark meat and shark finns on sale here in the past, but refrained from buying it.

I think he was pretending to think that you were using the word "finn" deliberately (as i was in my response to his post).

A shark has a fin.

A Finn is a person from Finland.

It is not always possible in English to just drop the -ing from a word and get the noun form, and "finning" is an example of this.

You know I'll be in North Norway close to the Finnish border Valdemar for the next 10 days or so, so maybe I could get you a tooth from a Finn. 

Is that an acceptable substitute?

Finns don't need teeth, anyways, because you don't have to chew Vodka.

When adding "ing" to a word that ends in a consonant you usually have to double that letter.

swim - swimming
tan - tanning
run - running

Your English is still much better than my French, and you are welcome.

[grumbler]

When adding "ing" to a word that ends in a single consonant you usually have to double that letter, otherwise, the vowel before the consonant becomes long and the word meaning can change..

swim - swimming
tan - tanning
run - running

FYP.

A fin is what a shark has, but fining is what the judge does.

[Razgovory]

There's no reason a shark can't fine someone.
