Sharks cannot reproduce fast enough to keep up with mass-production shark finning.
In the Atlantic ocean alone, shark populations in many species have decreased more than 90% percent in the last 15 years alone. It’s fucking disgusting.If there is two things to remember about sharks, here they are:

We urgently need to develop a sense of ‘enough’!
