- One shark is killed by humans every 3 seconds only because of its fins!
The cruel way they are hunted is called "Shark Finning". In this method the fins of the catched shark become cut of when he's still alive and then the shark is throwen back into the sea alive without fins. Unable to swim, he's bleeding to death. One shark is killed after the other only because of his fins, that are just 14% of his total weight. That is because shark meat is not much worth on the market, except the fins.

- Every shark is hunted, regardless of his age, species and size.

- Experts expect that numerous shark species will be extincted in less than 8 years!
