Believe or not, the sharks, their food chain all the way down to phytoplankton, that create about ½ of the planets oxygen, are down 90% because of the demand for shark fin soup and the like.

Human beings are skilled at justification. Every year humans slaughter over 100 million sharks yet we depict them as vicious and blood-thirsty killers.

No more than 12 people a year are killed by sharks worldwide.

In fact is it more dangerous to play golf than to swim in the ocean with sharks. More golfers are struck by lightning and killed each year than the total number of shark fatalities. Many more humans are struck and killed by boats every year than are attacked by sharks.

More people are killed by coconuts than sharks.

As a person who spent three years in his twenties basically bobbing for hours in his off time in the ocean off Huntington and Newport Beach in California, wearing a wet suit on a surf board, and appearing very seal like, I am very happy that sharks have good senses and think humans taste nasty.

I would hear stories of the great whites that patroled southern California Beaches near the Catalina Islands, and occasionally of shark attacks, but I only lost the joy of surfing when I found a surf board with a three foot wide shark bite out of it, complete with broken shark teeth left in the board.

I never went back to the beach with a surf board, and even my trips for swimming and a boogy board were rare, and infrequent. Knowing now that sharks can jump that high, I am amazed at the relaxed attitude of shark fishermen, and divers in shark areas. That shark puts Air Jordan to shame.

sharks were big and beautiful. However, who wants to see a seal get slaughtered. However, at least this is nature taking its course rather than some human committing animal abuse. However, I still don't like to observe animals being painfully mutilated.

I saw the movie JAWS when I was a child. I was terrified out of my mind. Now, I am in my mid 40-s and I am STILL scared of THAT MOVIE. Even my KIDS laugh at me over THAT ONE.

[If I cannot stomach JAWS, how coud I stomach something WORSE, like JURASSIC PARK???] yeesh......

My wife and I went cage diving with great whites last year - simply amazing. If you're interested, we did a rough cut video/photo that's on YouTube - it begins with pictures of Guadalupe Island and the seals on the island and then gets to the footage we took of the sharks. I'd recommend this to anyone - it completely changes your perspective on this apex predator and we've got to protect them for the long term benefit of our oceans and the excellent food we get from there.

I'm new to posting since I'm always the one learning from the excellent comments on all the health-related issues - this topic, however, is something that I can add something to.
