==Now thats an easy one! We must stop shark finning because if we don't, sharks will become extinct. But why should we save the sharks? I'll tell you why! They are an important part of out eco-system. == ==Many people think sharks eat humans a lot but in actual fact, not many people gt eaten by sharks. Only about 6-7 people are harmed by sharks a year. It may seem like a few too many, but if you think about it, they harm 6-7 of us, and how many of them do we harm a year? 10, 20 maybe? NO WAY! 'Forty million. 40,000,000 sharks are slaughtered in this barbaric manner for their fins every year, according to National Geographic. That raises the issue from animal cruelty to global crisis.' http://planetgreen.discovery.com/tv/go-for-the-green/green-brain-shark-finning.html. == ==40 million! WOW! 6 of us, 40,000,000 of them! Is that fair? NO! We MUST stop murdering these sharks!!!! And THATS why SMOS is here! == == We also need to stop shark finning because sharks carry mercury in there system. So when a shark fin is eaten by a human, the human could easily get mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning can kill you, so thats clearly not a good thing!!!  If YOU want to help stop it, go here or here ! ==
