Are the sharks they are hunting at risk or endangered?
Are the sharks they are hunting at risk or endangered?
I find your lack of faith...disturbing...
-Darth Vader
many are and many aren't based on known numbers, but the ones that aren't currently listed as at risk are becoming at risk due to overfishing, irresponsible fishing practices such as long lining, black market trade for fins, skin, and meat, and so on. All sharks are targeted through these fishing and trade practices.

Because people who do these practices follow the law???? can you say gun free zone argument?
What I want is for increased education, increased awareness, increased enforcement of the laws and increased punishment for all involved who break them especially the buyers, significantly increased pressure on foreign countries that turn a blind eye to the practices, and for more protection of the species', and the eventual abandonment of traditions and customs that are harmful to the planet's health as a whole. What exactly do you want?
