Shark Finning and Shark Fishing Photos Showing This Barbaric Practice |
 |
|
Recent data indicates that up to 73 million sharks are killed each year to satisfy the shark fin industry. This number includes sharks taken by illegal shark fin traders, data that does not show up on official statistics. The shark finning industry has skyrocketed in recent years, due in large part to the expansion of the Chinese economy. The Chinese have always prized shark fin, and now they are able to pay top dollar for shark fins from all over the world, leading to a potential global collapse in shark numbers. Be aware that many of these photos are graphic and disturbing.
