Most people, even animal lovers, are pretty scared of sharks. Most depictions and coverage of sharks suggests that they are violent, dangerous creatures. However, sharks actually have reason to be way more afraid of humans. A significantly greater number of sharks are killed by humans every year than humans killed by sharks (I’m talking hundreds vs. millions.) Sharks are complex and can even be quite sweet towards humans. However, even if sharks were completely vicious and violent creatures, they are still sentient beings that deserve to live. Sadly, the shark fin trade causes millions of painful deaths every year for these poor animals.
