Save our sharks <3 Click/space/arrow keys Humans are decimating more than 100 million sharks each year to meet demands for shark fin soup. Sharks are facing an unprecedented risk of extinction after a 71% decline in their population from 1970 to 2018. The plight of sharks has been continuously neglected by callous fisheries and has shown little signs of abating. As the apex predators in marine ecosystems, the absence of sharks would wreak havoc on food chains, resulting in dire consequences. Moreover, it has been clear that the harvesting method of shark finning is exceedingly cruel - the sharks are caught, have their fins cut off, and are then released alive back into the ocean where they would eventually bleed, starve, or suffocate to death with the lack of fins thwarting them from even moving. The unsustainability and atrocity of shark finning are absolutely unethical. Sharks have been slaughtered by a number far beyond what their population could bear. The heinous exploitation of sharks should come to a stop. Visit https://www.sharkopolis.life/art/ for more art by us. Save the sharks, save the ocean.
