Extinction of sharks
These
animals may be scary, ferocious beasts but they still need love and
help so the can keep their population alive and everyone can help us
save the great beautiful amazing sharks. Lets all get together and save
one of the most oldest, beloved and beautiful creatures in the sea.
Sharks
are being slaughtered and eaten only for their fins . They cut the fins
off of the sharks and sometimes the leave the wounded shark in the
ocean. Without its fin sharks sink to the bottom of the ocean they sit
there until they die of starvation.
The
creature that is killing these magnificent creatures they don’t have
sharp teeth or strangling tentacles. This creature doesn’t even live in
the sea. The creature killing the sharks is the human race. Humans have
been killing sharks for thousands of years. Now all of the shark
killings are beginning to add up the shark population is having a major
decrease. in the 1800’s Americans relied on oil from the sharks liver to
waterproof their boats. Native Americans prized the the teeth of sharks
(bull,tiger sharks) When the Chinese wealth increased the demand of
shark fin soup has increased.
Sharks
are some of the earths oldest creatures they were know to be around
when dinosaurs like the T-rex (tyrannosaurus rex) were roaring over the
great plains. Killing this sharks will cause an economic crisis. This
will happen because if the shark population is decreased then the sharks
prey will grow larger,and if the sharks prey increases then the preys
food will decrease in population. An example is the bull shark dies then
the cownose ray population will increase cownose rays eat scallops
along the North Carolina Coast, and then the scallops are all gone so
most of the people and the fisherman that need/live their lives and jobs
depend on them they will be out of luck.
There
is still hope to save the sharks because the demand of shark fin soup
is decreasing in china. This due to all of the protest and rallies they
are having in the world. Even celebrities are beginning to help out NBA
retired superstar Yao Ming who is a great athlete he’s 7ft 2 inches tall
and a great player. Also famous movie star Jackie chan a chinese male
are helping by giving speeches at the rallies and giving the group money
to help save these beautiful creatures of the sea. Maybe with all the
help from around the world we can make a change and save the beautiful
creatures of the deep blue see.
