Revealing the shocking truth behind climate change and endangered animals
Sharks
Around the world, sharks are knowm for their amazing hunting abilities, fast swimming and exhilerating jumps. But, the idea of a man-eater springs to mind. Of course, this is not true. More people die from Bee Stings and Coconuts than Shark Attacks.
Unfortunately, Sharks are severly thretaned by Sport Fishermen. These men catch sharks for sport and keep their bodies as trophies. All over the world, Sharks are being killed for sport like this in huge numbers.
Another threat to Sharks' exitence is trawler fishing. This is where a boat sets up a huge, long net across a large area. Because of this, all sorts of animals are being sweeped up into these nets. Animals such as Whales, dolphins, sharks and turtles are being ruthlessly killed by these marauding nets.
