Shark Finning and Shark Fishing Photos Showing This Excessive Exploitation |
 |
|
Sharks are harvested for a variety of uses. Their blood has been used as an anticoagulant, their cartilage for burn treatment and cancer fighting medicines, their organs for fish feed, their fins for soup, their flesh for fertilizer, their teeth for ornaments and ceremonial weapons, their liver for the oil, and their skin for shoe leather and hand grips. While finding a variety of uses for sharks is better than finning them and leaving them to die, the over exploitation of sharks has put many shark species on the brink of extinction. Worldwide, people must join together in protecting sharks before it is too late. On these pages are images of the excessive exploitation of sharks. Be aware that many of these photos are graphic and disturbing.
