Several years ago,,,,,,I was watching a show, probably on Discovery or Animal Planet and it showed this HUGE BOAT with fisherman on it,,,,,,,,,they were pulling these nets out of the water, the nets had sharks in them. They were cutting off their fins and throwing them back into the sea,,,,,,,,so so sad,,,,,,,I couldnt watch it!
So this week, I have been watching these Shark shows,,,,,,and they have been talking about how sharks are disappearing,,,,,,,,
The fins are used for Shark Fin Soup,,,,,
They are sold for $50-$60 a fin!
On one show, these customs agents were going onto fishing boats. Boats that were supposed to be catching tuna and similar fish. In their holding areas, they found shark fins,,,,,,no tuna!
People dont usually feel sorry for sharks. SO this isnt seen as a problem,,,,,,,,,,,
But it IS a problem! It is cruel! Sharks are predators at the top of their food chain! Sharks are not biologically structured to reproduce at rates like other fish........
So it is a shame,,,,,it is sad,,,,,,,
Hopefully sharks wont ever be extinct,,,,,,allthough, I did go to one website and looked at a list of endangered species of sharks and unfortunately, it was pretty LONG!
