Sharks have reigned at the top of the marine food chain for 200 million years, but their recent slaughter by fishermen has imperiled their populations significantly. Unfortunately, this graceful animal is killed primarily for its fins, which are used to make shark-fin soup, while the rest of the carcass is discarded at sea. Even worse, the shark is usually alive when finned and then left in the ocean to bleed to death or drown.

A worldwide resolution is urgently needed to halt the rampant slaughter of sharks, if for no other reason than that their position as the top predator of the sea is crucial to maintaining a balance of all life on the planet.

Imagine your own arms and legs are cut off and then you're thrown off into the sea like this. Even sharks can't do anything just left to die slowly as they can't swim already. 1139842079_medium 1104951994_medium
