Sharks face habitat loss and malpractice fishing, and the devastating practice of shark finning, wherein fishermen to avoid being caught catching sharks for their expensive fins will take them off, and toss the shark's body back into the sea, where they may drown or be predated.

Over 73 million sharks are killed for their fins every year. China has vowed to ban shark fin soup... Still waiting.

Shark finning

This illustration is about the problem of animal cruelty. Fishermen catch sharks, cut off their fins and release them back into the ocean. Sharks can no longer swim and slowly sink to the bottom, dying a painful death.

Fishermen catch sharks, cut off their fins and release them back into the ocean. Sharks can no longer swim and slowly sink to the bottom, dying a painful death. This problem is especially widespread in Southeast Asia and still occurs today.

The penultimate endangered shark for Shark Week is the scalloped hammerhead, a shark famous for gathering in huge shoals, but has suffered a drop in numbers by 95% in just 3 decades, all because it is a favourite target for the absolutely abhorrent practice of shark finning.

MerMay Day 25: Shark 🦈 🧜🏻‍♀️ Sharks are actually a creature that I’ve been very passionate about for some time now. About 10 years ago I became aware of shark finning and the all the horrible aspects of it. If you like documentaries, look up “Sharkwater” by Rob Stewart.

I'm glad to hear them talking about the top threat to sharks worldwide, which is fishing pressure!

Bycatch (accidental capture while fishing which often kills them) is the biggest threat! Finning, & recreational fishing also contribute!

Scalloped Hammerhead, S. lewini. These grow over 8 feet long and form large groups. Like many sharks, these are endangered because of finning. You can help by never buying any product containing shark products. https://t.co/harPAH5U9j
