  • you know what? Why. Why the fuck why. Killing animals for 10 minutes of glory for eating FINS! really. fucking sick fucks

  • I'm really behind defending and helping sharks what they do to them is wrong. I've seen many videos did a couple studys. And I hope at some point in my life I can go to "shark island"

  • They should allow "deadly forced is authorized" in places like these against people who try to fish. They may need to get the food for money, but they should fish somewhere else.

  • Finding those dam keys are pissing me off...

  • Fucking Japs and their gregarious appetites. They KNOW damn it's fucking illegal in protected waters and the shitheads do it anyways.

    Give Costa Rica Coast Guards some torpedos...with nuclear warheads.

  • we shouldnt give anymore warning shots just shoot them they know the rules yet they violate anyway wtf these ppls should be jailed

  • the ak47 is used for warning shots. Not for shooting.

  • what nonsense. You don't know your history. The Chinese have engaged in genocide, slavery (Mao was caused the deaths of more people than Stalin and Hitler). The Japanese, well, have you heard of the second world war? The Nanjing massacres? I mean, really. I love Asia and many of its wonderful cultures (just as I love European, American and African cultures), but no continent can really be said to be more "peaceful."

  • Not Mao, but Miao. I'm a descendant of the Miao myself cuz I'm Hmong. Miao are Hmong, and I kinda don't like Chinese because of the genocide of the Hmong/Miao. We were in China 5000 years before the Chinese. Warring caused the Miao to move to Laos. Yup!

  • I love the ocean and all the creatures of the sea amaze me. We need to have respect for the creatures here on earth. The thought of any creatures extinction is unthinkable.

  • Sharks are awesome and important animals. If only people weren't so greedy..sigh :(

  • kill all the sharks

  • NOW I LOVE SHARKS SAVE THE SHARKS

  • gross 0:45

  • It's time to start sinking the boats doing illegal fishing. Who will be the first to fire the shot to save the oceans from the greedy humans. Picture dead oceans with no marine life, that's when people will take this seriously. Educate the Asians to the cost of shark fin soup. I don't believe they are so callous that they would be unwilling to change their habits.

  • exactly! .& not 2 sound racist or anything cuz i'm not i hink every1 is equal..but Asian's are the most peacful ppl aren't they?

  • It is very interesting !

  • haha nice

  • i ate a shit load of shark fin soup when i traveled to china 2 weeks ago

  • DECIMATED

  • Shark Wars! Save the sharks.

  • Are there not enough fish in the sea that people are needing to poach sharks purely for their fins? What a waste of life. Sharks are amazing creatures that have been around for millions of years. The fact that humans are responsible for the endangering of these living beings (as well as countless others) makes me sick. The world will never change though until the driving force of humanity is no longer wealth and riches.

  • a estos bichos o los matas o te matan.

  • what a fuckin selfish ppl , they shoot in the air just to let them escape because they don't want them to get better fish than they get ... losers

  • I wonder how long it took them to come up with the nickname "Shark Island."

  • there's already a documentary called 'shark water'

  • thumbs down TO  the chinese...(I'm chinese....Han)

  • well im not a racist,more like the opposite but however. its not the chineses fault that you use to eat such food or have those traditions and so on,im not familiar with your culture. its generally the humans fault that this is taking place i mean destroying such kingdoms is clearly the fault of many. you might eat sharks meat or whatever,the rest should do something so as you stop it or at least avoid this as much as possible

  • stfu and die already.

  • The people who commit these crimes should, IMHO, be fed alive and kicking to the very sharks they're destroying.

  • I know the problem with the world, population..

    Imaging a 500,000 million - 1 billion world pop

    No hunger, everyone would be rich

    Stop having so much babies peoples!

  • you mean stop having so many babies. you sound like a eugenicist?

  • I guess so, it's the only way were going to survive, imagine a world with twice as many people 12 billion, will there be room?

  • sure there is, ever seen the movie water world?

  • ok, WHY THE HELL CAN I NOT WATCH THE MOON WATER VIDEO FROM NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!

    Copyright? Not available in my country? I'm in freaking Canada! I'm a two hour drive away from America! Why is it that suddenly I can't watch most of National Geographics videos?!

  • me too man its stupid

  • I know how you feel. I wanted to watch Extraterrestrial Tsunami video but I can't because of the copyright reasons. It doesn't make any sense and it's really starting to piss me off!

  • I'll just tell you about it, um.. meteor hits the ocean, then giant wave comes (cgi), then some scientists talk

  • ya, well i figured that part out but i still want to see it. =)

  • same me2! ,

    N1ntenOwned

  • I hate how National Geographic videos have NOTHING to do with the title of the videos

  • i dun get it, why doesn't the shark attack the camera man or the photographer???

  • gotta love natgeo hd lenses. just amazing!

  • why dont we try to shoot the ilegal fisher man and see how they feel when they die just for meat !!!!!!!!!! dam ... we are the ones who supposedly taking care of this earth but what do we do we abuse it ... tsk tsk tsks one day we might sufer thse consequences ......... just speeking my mind ^^

  • because that would be murder and who would kill them. Imprisinment yes

  • In Africa, if law enforcements are to encounter pochers they are ordered to shoot to kill... It seems shooting them is the only way to really get our message across that they need to stop killing our rare wildlife for profit.

  • I'm all for getting those bastards! (Not just Japanese poachers, ALL in general)

    I understand that it is a part of their culture, they've been doing it for so many years, and they're never going to stop. Can't they do it in a more humane way? (If there is such a thing) Not just cut off it's fin while alive, throw it back in the water to let it suffer and die cos it can't swim. The way I've heard most Native Americans do it, they praise the animal, and waste nothing of it! Can't it be like that?

  • They only solution is to sink all poachers, eventually they will get the message. After waching the documentary " Shark Water" it is the only possible solution. With the coruption in the Costa Rica government even if you manage to capture the poaching vessel it is likely to be set free. I think things are slowly changing in Costa Rica. But money talks and there's no changing that.

  • they should just shot the boat

  • No fuck your mom :)

  • yah u 2

  • I want to make love to a shark. It has been a childhood fantasy for years.

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF?

  • Beautifal vid!!!

  • They fired a warning shot...but the poachers escaped anyway lol

    If they keep up this kind of "policing" there will always be poachers coming and going

  • 1 tuna would make them set for a month...?lol

  • i hate these gay ass asians that hunt sharks they whould go back to asia and hunt there own crap

  • Judging by your username, you're a 12 year-old who spends most his time on Live. I can't take you seriously, but I have a question for you.

    How many things do you consume or use that aren't from where you live?

    Just a suggestion, but you should think a little more; it's for your own good.

  • he does make a point they fucked up Newfoundlands waters by using dragers

  • ppl should stop fishing for like 2 years and w8 for fish to come back then start fishing

  • well that would provoke a kind of crisis xD

    i mean fishing cant be stopped for 2 years.

    lets say there are reserves for 1 year(clearly too much time) some cultures eat fish many times a week,not to say daily. one year pausing this would be fatal. though i personally like your idea,a bit of a dream is involved...too bad

  • this is sick kill a whole shark just for fins japan sucks

  • come on man...sounds pretty much of a racist.

    what would you do without the japanese technology. i mean they offer pretty much but your point is right,what they do is really stupid!

  • 10/10*****

  • OMG we have enough things to eat WHY THE HELL sharks?!

  • dude ppl have been eating sharks for many years. you just wouldnt know cus you might not be from the area.

  • But in this case they're hunting sharks strickly for their fins. In Asia ( China espically) shark fin soup is a considered a delicacy. It serves as no importance to the human body whatsoever. It doesn't cure cancer, it doesn't cure sexual impotence. It's just a means to re-assure one's self importance. Kinda like celebrity's driving hummers.

  • lol this one owned!!^^ up

  • the easterners eat mainly just the fins. which is basically cooked with delicious seasoning. since the fins have no taste on thier own & of little nutritonal value. ppl are actually paying a high price to eat tasty seasoning. ...calling to all socialay res pon si bel chai nese....stop serving Finnss in your wedding bankuet pls.

  • There is no war, no people for those japanese to kill now, so they go to the ocean to kill whales and sharks.

  • grrr I know right! Harvesting sharks for their FINS?? Its effin RIDICULOUS!! They're blood thirsty they are!

  • not to forget tuna

  • never had shark fin. well never had shark.....guessing it taste liike tuna. i wanna try it.....i like fish.

  • not really since shark is all cartilage its kind of nasty tastes nothing like tuna. Its all chewy took one bite and couldn't eat anymore.

  • Ignorant fuck.

  • These idiots need to realize w/out sharks in the ocean...THERE IS NO OCEAN!!!!!

  • exactly.

  • oh there will be an ocean but just without sharks.

  • you have no idea of what you're talking about, do you?

  • Wow,

    You're an idiot.

  • dead sharks

    more fish

    more fish, less fish food in general

    no fish food

    dead fish

  • more fish

    more food for us

    less fish

    less fish food

    yummy fish

  • you're one naive person if you are serious about them being "there for nothing"

  • well for a start its more there food than ours, and we are not needed on this planet, if we were to go the planet would live on, and it would live for even longer so what you said there is bullshit

  • It's more like you think we aren't needed on the planet, after all we aren't the ones who take care of animals and make sure they are better off.

  • no, weve done more damage to the planet and to the environment than any animal, so you sereously think that humans are needed to make this planet keep spinning? if so then your retarded. period

  • If sharks left the world will still be spinning. Sharks are useless and not needed, if they are gone there will be more money more food.

    Also I don't think you will be saying this if a shark was snacking on your leg, you have to kill in order not to get killed yourself. (only referring to animals).

    and you have still yet to tell me how a shark benefits your life in the slightest.

  • shit your stupid as fuck :o

  • ok im no philosopher but its clear that their a part of the ecosystem if you want it or not. sharks "snack" on humans cause they hunt,now question: why do they hunt where we bath/surf??!!!

    annswer: because we,humans,destroy the animals world by any means we can. simple as that.i dont say ppl who go bath/surf deserve to die by sharks or that they deserve what they get,its just the wholehumaninty's fault that thats even happening. we simply enter their territory and they try to survive

  • Lets say an tiger saw your home door open and decided to come in (your territory) and tried to kill you. What would you say then?

  • well,youve got a point here but tigers dont expand to random places,no animal does so. might be hungry or you've entered IT'S territory so it defends it.

  • holy fuk its gon rape me!!!! oh stfu about that UUUGHHH HOWD UU LIKE IT IF SOMEONE DID THAT TO YOU, well bitch, i stay 2nd amendment i have the right to bear arms so we'll just have to see won't we junior

  • people dont understand that by killing sharks, we are just killing ourselves. there is a reason they are at the top of the food chain.

  • i thought humans were on top of the food chain

  • LOL, good one

  • when you go swimming in the ocean, you're on their territory.

  • with weapons (guns, knife, and vehicles, like a boat) we are the top. But say without them, we'll be at the bottom with bare hands, just like the cavemen.

  • it's kind of disappointing that they just abandoned the chase after poachers like that. the coast guard is there for a reason, and shouldn't call themselves that if they give up just because the poachers would be there the next day. no one else is going to protect these creatures.

  • One day something bigger and smarter than us will come along and catch us and cut our arms off jut for fun.

  • wow you're really stupid

  • ha jokes on you i have two dads.

  • i know, im one of them.

  • i see how you love to display your stupidity, it makes me laugh.

  • Comment removed

  • i h8 them killing nature too, but...if u hate money, can i have all of yours :D

  • Its sad that people have to kill sharks just for a stupid fin to make a living.

    Soon theyll be extinct like the rest of the animals striving to live.

  • Why did he fire that rifle once and only into the air? If it was me, and the boat didn't stop, I would have emptied the rest of that 30 round mag into the boat 3-4 rounds at a time until the jackasses stopped running.

  • If i see any more "This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions." i will Unscribe from NationalGeographic cus i cant remove thouse which i cant wach and so i dont se any other subcribt movies on "Subscriptions" its already full ! >:(

  • Same it is really annoying and like you said the front page is completly full with videos im not allowed to watch.....

  • I'm more than annoyed by this as well. I can't for the life of me understand wgy anyone would make these silly restrictions, as they're bound to know, that it pisses the subscribers of big time.

    I'm with you on this. ONE more, and i'm outta here.

  • ownd 1
