Sharkwater

First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Cathy Conrad for giving so many of us the oppurtunity to go see that movie last night. It was amazing. I would definately recommend other people to go see it. That ovie really opened my eyes because i did not know that the shark population was dwindling down like that. I never knew people hunted sharks just for the fins. I really think what these people are do is wrong and if people think the sea hunt is cruel, then they should see what is happening to those poor sharks. The seals are not put through as much pain and torture as the sharks are. The sharks are definned alive then thrown back in the water to die. If the fins are being used just to add texture to a soup, then they should really find something else to put in the soup. It is wrong to kill the sharks for the prupose of their fins and nothing else. I really think that people need to become more educated on the marine environment and see what the effects of what they are doing is going to do to the planet and everything on it in the long run. To kill sharks, or any other animal, for the reason of money is wrong. Poeple should become aware of what is going on in the ocean and make laws and enforce them to stop pointless killings like this. People should not be overfishing a species untill it is dead for the reason that they are. People would not like to get their arm or leg chopped off while they are still alive and then be left there for dead, so they should not be doing it to animals. I think its good that Rob Stewart is getting involved and trying to make other people aware of what is happening with the shark populations and i hope people start to realize and do something about it before it is too late.
