Even if you were right, people are going to go on killing sharks.

If I were a subsistence fisherman in Indonesia and someone paid me a few dollars to fin some sharks, I would do it and feed my family that day.

It is quite a luxury to be able to sit back in comfort and judge others who don't have it so good as us.

I see a lot of hypocrisy on this thread. People claiming to be holier than thou, caring about the environment. Meanwhile what brings us together is this hobby of taking fish and invertebrates out of their natural environment for our viewing enjoyment.

On the one hand you claim we are killing 10 to the 18th power sharks, then you claim we are not an apex predator. OK.
