these poor animals are close to being endangered...
the great white IS endangered...
Vic Hislop
is on a mission and is trying to protect us from sharks...
he is responsible for killing some of the largest and oldest great whites
ever recorded...
sharks kill 5 people each year
elephants & tigers : 100
execution : 2,400
illegal drugs : 22,000
road accidents : 1,200,00
starvation : 8,000,000
in most shark attacks flesh is never removed even if the person
dies it is usually from blood loss...
sharks are not interested in eating us...
would you go jogging next to a lion or cheetah?
no... but there are millions of people
entering the water where sharks hunt
every year and very few people are bitten...
these beautiful and amazing creatures
have every right to
live...
"Sharks (superorder Selachimorpha) are a type of fish with a full cartilaginous skeleton and a highly streamlined body. The earliest known sharks date from more than 420 million years ago"
- Wikipedia
Shark nets and drum lines kill sharks indiscriminately along the Coast...
shark fin soup is a symbol of wealth... the fin is tasteless and
only adds texture...
the soup is flavored with chicken or pork
and served at weddings, banquets and expensive restaurants...
sharks are raped of their fins and thrown back in
the ocean only to be stripped of their dignity
and left to drown...
poor sharks...
yes, this is vic hislop...

I have a love of sharks too! I grew up in Florida, but never feared going into the water. It is sad how the great white has become an endangered species. hopefully people will be come more aware how important sharks are to the ecosystem and without them things will be really a mess... Thanks for your post....
