here's a fact:
more people are killed by falling coconuts every year than sharks.

we kill 70-100 million sharks each year.

and for what, you may ask?

soup. yes. soup.
sharkfin soup can sell for $300 dollars a bowl, but the sharks are the apex predators in the sea, not to mention they are beautiful, magnificent creatures.

if we eliminate the shark, we throw the balance of the whole ecosystem out of whack.
yao ming has even sworn off the soup, which is an asian delicacy. surely you can too.

sharks have been around since before the dinosaurs.
let's keep them, okay?
