  • Yeah we care so much about sharks now that we're top of the food chain. I would like to see people care if sharks were the ones hunting us down. If shark could kill us they would.

  • @CameraManSW The morale of this story is, WE WANT SHRIMPS!

  • So since the stingrays have no predators, they over eat the shellfish? Well if sharks predators are humans. And humans have no predators and so overeat sharks, we should make predators to hunt down humans.

  • NEXT THING U KNOW SHARKS FIND OUT THT HUMANS ARE THE REAL THREAT TO THIS PLANET AND THEY GO TO SHORE AND EAT ANYONE WWHO COMES IN THE WATER.

  • Sharks - Just like everything else on this planet - living or not - serves its purpose....& contributes to the universe in some way or another...its its just for us to figure out how it all fits in - and we have done well so far - but there's more...

  • @hendricksjamie Oh c'mon you should know why sharks are on this planet. Sharks are here to kill or be killed like everything else on this planet. Humans kill, not all humans have to kill because we have other people to do it for us. Shark steak anyone?

  • how do fish reproduce? you know like produce a baby fish??

  • NO SHARKS!!!!! THEN WHO IS GANNA EAT THE GIRL IN SOUL SERFERS DAGHTER ARM!!!

  • The amount of racism here is sick.NOT ALL ASIANS EAT SHARK'S FIN SOUP stop condemning a whole race of people

  • @MegaClayGirl Fucking asians... They should be more like white people and stick to killing other people.

  • @MegaClayGirl you mean chinese kill everything?

  • WTF? I would never have eaten shark-fin soup if I knew it was made from sharks!

  • @TheGomexican IT'S CALLED SHARK FIN SOUP!!!!!!

  • @MegaClayGirl nope.. mainly china

    

  • @MegaClayGirl I hope you die, bitch.

  • they'd be in my stomach like the whale I ate for dinner just now.

  • @MegaClayGirl racist

  • poor sharkies! : (

  • Shit!

  • I have a classmate who loves Shark's fin soup. I try to convince her that it is wrong to eat it but she keeps on saying she can't stop because it's so good but I had read in Time that the fin is bland! the only thing giving it flavor is the broth.

  • @Metroe215 It's about texture.

  • @MegaClayGirl come to gujarat & meet a Jain saint

    you will realise true nature love in way of religion in Hinduism

  • @amitpanasara The fuck? what does this have to do with sharks -.-

  • @XTrevvion JAINISM opposes killing even an ant......

  • @amitpanasara oh okay, 

  • @cryostation They aren't the only people who order/serve it. Besides, lots of people just go out and kill a large number of sharks for sport or believing a certain shark is the root of their troubles.

  • @RevenantCheetosx with the rise of chinese economy also comes the expansion of some of their superstitions. the dumb chinese gov shows its true colors by doing nothing to educate its people about the environment. unless these ignorarnt people are educated they will be the biggest threat to shark survival just based on their sheer number. so i say again educate the gooks.end shark fin soup

  • @cryostation They are only a portion of the world's shark fin soup consumer. If you're so worried about their education...why don't you go educate, instead of bitching and moaning.

  • @cryostation You are a f king dumbst.

    No gov would like to see the environment of their country being ruined. They did what they could do. U cant expect people who couldn't afford food treasure the environment. Not to mention that China has so large porpulation. Use ur brain b4 typing k ty.

  • @cryostation And.....start eating SHARK OILS like the westerners right?

  • @cryostation Yes, I'm sure being racist dipshits will give us a lot of people's affection.

    Moron. WTF is this, PETA?

  • @cryostation thank for the racist but true comment.no sarcasm intended

  • @ttv0 notice the irony these dumb idiots are worried about RACISM when one of the most magnificent creatures the earth ever produced, the most beautiful predator is about to dissapear. i dont give a shit if GOOKS are offended, i am not offended in the least no matter what someone calls me, the most important thing is the sharks survival. there are already too many dumb humans on this planet

  • @cryostation i agree with what you said and if someone calls them that they can't say shit because anyone who does that needs much more horrible things.i am glad you think that they should stop i have gotten into fights over people who say "we should kill them all"

  • @ttv0 youre a good man(or woman) add me to your friends:D

  • Loss of apex predators is a bad thing. In some areas of Connecticut, whitetail deer have become urban scavengers for at least part of their food supply. We have no wolves, and expanding human hunting much further is probably politically impossible. Something needs to be done.

  • @ctraver well there are voices that say we are in the midst of a mass extiction event, and humans are in the middle of it all. scientifically i have no problem calling the rape of our planet an extinction event. i am just shocked that with all this technology and progress we humans have managed to become nothing more than just a self-preserving beast. not only that but not even an einteresting one... an ugly vile chimera that is the deffinition of humanity

  • SHARKS FTW!!!

  • Comment removed

  • HEY YOU SAVE THE SHARKS

  • it is more likely to be attacked by a pig than by a shark

  • Leave it to the asians....they kill EVERYTHING. Not a slight, just the truth. Commerical trawlers also kill millions of "non targeted" species...shrimpers are the worst offenders. 90+% of the shrimpers catch is "non targeted" and tossed over board dead. Things must change.

  • @wigwamman1 Uhmm there is a show on Discovery called Deadliest Catch. So dont be saying that because thats a lie. Also have you seen Whale Wars on animal planet? They are really doing something now. Things are changing buddy.

  • nice video, save the sharks.

  • there should be a DSWD for them...Department of Sharks' Welfare and Development

  • i love sharks im starting a shark charity

  • who cares. sharks are dangerous to humans

  • @PhuckHue2 Are you aware that the chance of actually getting attacked by a shark is less than that of being struck by lightning?

  • @PhuckHue2 humans are dangerous to humans

  • @PhuckHue2 they're pretecing their terratory 

  • 1:45 retard shark is retard

  • i want that fish at 0:13

  • I couldn't care less if the sharks died out...

  • @JonnaJacobsen1995 I would care less if YOU died out...

  • @CH33ZY1989 same to you

  • @JonnaJacobsen1995 they help out keep the balance of life .

  • So the trickle down does work you dumb liberals. If rich people get taxed to death - dumb people will take their place and buy tons of bling and pointless stuff so the economy will be screwed, haha. Just like the sharks and sting rays, learn from science!

  • If Sharks disppeared there would not be a Shark Week : (

  • pff sharks aren't real there just made up by the government so that people don't find out that 9/11 never happened on the moon...

  • @PopeOnArope123 ?.... what people already know 9/11 didnt happen on the moon

  • bon scott , we cant keep them in captivity, especially not the great white because theyre just too dangerous

  • There is substitute for shark fin soup.. anything these days can be artificially simulated.. It's really the older generation that enjoys the real stuff... Wait till they die and the sharks will live again.

  • save nature

  • @UserUnknown77

    True, but only in specific area's and with specific quota. I'm talking about the illegal sharkfin industrie. not about the legal one... Already watched sharkwater?

  • @UserUnknown77

    sharks in general won't become extinct. But a lot of species will, which are fundamental for the oceans ecosystems. What would happen if you kill all the predators of rabbits in an area. they will start to multiply fast, and the whole balance in the ecosystem will be disrupted. Same for sharks They have lived on this planet for 400 MILLION years. Dominating the oceans and keeping the ecosystems healthy. the sharkfinindustrie is the SECOND biggest illegal industy in the world

  • they kill tens of millions sharks every single years... sharks kill 5 people a year. 5!!! Out of thos millions and millions of people who swim in waters where sharks hunt. more people die because of coconuts falling out of trees. Do you want to cut down ALL the coconut treees too? how fucking ridiculous would that be.. If you want to talk about this stuff, go and watch Sharkwater first. It's on youtube as well. And if you can't take that serious, I'm done argueing with you because we won't agree

  • @UserUnknown77

    Ignorant.... What the hell did read, and what arguments do you have that sharks won't become extinct.? You probably also think that sharks kill people by the hundreds every year....

  • hahaha look at the yellow fish at beginning on the left of his head behind him in the tank.That fish looks like a total retard :-D

  • @UserUnknown77, tell me, would you kill an innocent dog if it meant you could eat it's tail? And even if you would, would you just leave it and let if die of a slow and painful death, I bet so. Ok, how about I decide that I like chinese hand soup and cut off your hands to satisfy my appetite and let you just die of a slow and painful death? Don't you think that is really selfish right there, of course you do!! Wake up, people like you are destroying the eco system all for your damn stomachs

  • @tommoore2012

    >implying it's not survival of the fittest and we're not at the top of the food chain

  • @tehcexymeowmix, I know we're not. To me, where you are on the top of the food chain is what you can kill with only using the things that nature gave you. Not what you can make to help kill your enemy, if it weren't for our intelect level, we'd be almost as pitful as a rat. We can't do anything unless we have something to get it done for us

  • @UserUnknown77, one, I don't have a car, two, driving a car to work won't do nearly as much damage to earth then wiping out a shark, and three, they won't go extinct? Look at them, the most apex ones are on the brink of extinction and with out the most apex predator in the ocean, all life is in major trouble. And your willing to risk all that just for some damn soup?? Did you know most of the shark is left to die a slow and painful death after their fin is cut off? Your just far to selfish

  • @UserUnknown77, so you consider your own selfish appetite more important then the life in the eco system? You asshole, yes we eat many cows, but we also make sure that they reproduce at a steady rate so their population isn't indanger. Unlike you dicks who don't give a fuck about what happens to anything as long as you get your way. And for the record, you can't really make anymore obese comments to us anymore, becuase Britian has now taken the title as the world's fattest country

  • Save sharks SHARK WEEK MUST GO ON

  • If you dont like sharks DONT GO SWIMMING FRIKEN STUPID PEOPLE

  • Thank God.

  • I wonder if people could go extinct.

  • @theultramegaman theultamegaman people cant cuz we fuck to much

  • @detailrunescape991 Haha, I knew someone would say that but i didn't know who.

  • @theultramegaman lol XD

  • @theultramegaman, we almost did during the last ice age, by the time the last ice age was over, there were only 6000 humans left

  • Comment removed

  • If megalodon was seen alive eating people, overfishing defenseless sharks.. I would be proud...

  • Save the sharks!

  • @coolillboi i do not hear THAT everyday xD

  • Makes me really sad, there my favorite animales

  • i hate china japan and other countries that eat sharks man i hate that

  • @phill949 uhm, japan eats more of dolphins and whales than sharks though....

  • @M3diaCultur3

    could be true. But they eat whole dolphins and whole whales. They only eat 3 to 5% of sharks. It's only about the fins... the rest of the often still living shark gets thrown back into the ocean left to die

  • @siesss first, i was merely clarifying to phill that japan doesn't really eat sharks. i wasn't comparing the chinese or the japanese, so you can stop defending them in that context.

    2nd, i personally think eating dolphins is much more of a crime, since they are intelligent species with limited numbers, compared to sharks. even if they eat all of the dolphin, does that justify it in your eyes? you do know those dolphins bleed to death when they're captured, right?

  • @M3diaCultur3

    Limited numbers compared to sharks!!!!! We have devastated sharkpopulations the past century's(the top predators). Dolphin slaughter is wrong. How about the aquariums like seaworld and shit with their dolphins shows.. Ever looked into that? You really should:). Watch "The Cove" as well. It's about dolphins slaughter in Japan, and before they slaughter them. Dolphin trainers from different countrys come over to select there dolphins. Paying up to 150.000 us dollars a dolphin...

  • @siesss oh yeah, and the dolphins are breeding like crazy, right?

    i've seen the cove, and i don't see how you, after seeing the film, could still actually justify dolphin slaughter more than shark slaughter.

    didn't you see that big red pool of blood??

  • @M3diaCultur3

    I'm not saying shark finning is worse then dolphins slaughter. It's both just as bad. although dolphins stress more i think! I did see the blood, and it's fucking cruel. but did you see the 95 kilometer longlines with 15.000 baited hooks, catching anything! from seaturtles, sealions to seabirds sharks and dolphins? sharks are quite often dead(as for the other animals) the others will be definned and often thrown back still alive. they suffocate cz they can't swim anymore..

  • @siesss just so you know, i like sharks too. but dolphins should at least be treated in the same degree as how you think about sharks.

    i have a soft spot for dolphins when i knew that they deliberately save humans from sharks. i mean, i love them even more at that point.

    but put that aside, dolphins are predators too. for balancing the sea lion population, you have killer whales. mammals in the seas are threatened too.

  • @M3diaCultur3

    true, but dolphin/whale populations are recovering. Humpbacks, blues(little bit) greys, sperm whales. There population is rising again. Even minke whales, although they still have a catching quote for about a thousand... They (fortunately)don't kill that many ceteceans anymore to form a big threat for them, although it's still cruel and inhumane. Sharks are still hunted by the millions. and nobody does anything about it.. We fought for dolphins, now we should fight for sharks.

  • @siesss theres still a lot of whaling going on too, even if they are being protected by law.

  • @M3diaCultur3

    I know that there's still a lot of whaling going on, but it's not a really big threath for most species. The ecosystems are a lot more under threath because of shark finnig rather then whale hunting. It should stop. both of them... but that's almost impossible... the ocean is so big, and people only care about economy and money. they don't want to spend 20.000 dollars to save whales if they can also buy an expensive car with that money...

  • @M3diaCultur3

    Btw, Some sharks take up to 25 years to reach sexual maturity... Sharks are 10 times more at risk than dolphins at the moment. Dolphins are protected, and there isn't a really large illegal market for it.. sharks are the epax predators of the oceans. they shaped the oceans the last 400 million years. new species of fish and other animals appeared cz of them.. And we are almost wiping them out... Ever heared of sharkwater;)?

  • @siesss oh i forgot to say, it's not "could be true", because it is true.

  • @M3diaCultur3

    the shark fin industry is the biggest illegal industry in the world after drugs btw... they kill tens of millions sharks each year. Creatures that controle the ecosystems in the oceans, and we just hunt them down without knowing the consequences of it on the marine ecosystems... It's the same with dolphins/whales... In a couple a years, sharks will be just as threatened as whales/dolphins, or even worse...

  • i fucking hate these japanese fucks there all weird and screwed in the head

  • screw the sharks kill them all

  • @kerryfosterusa I'd like to cut you everywhere and then dump you off the coast of south afrika

  • @kerryfosterusa, you are a complete fuckind dumbass. Do you have any idea what harm would come to marine and land life if sharks go extinct? They're probably the most important species of life on this entire planet. So much more damage would be done besides the clam and sting ray problem

  • your're retarded Lehosh

  • "What would happen if sharks disappeared?"

    Another predator would take their place at the top and life would go on... just like has happened over and over for a billion years.

  • @Lehosh im afraid its not that simple, dumb fool.

  • @Lehosh No, cause whe don't have a billion years because there is this tiny factor called the humans that kill the planet

  • @Lehosh True, but it would take time for that predetor to appear

  • you know what makes things worse? shark fin itself has NO TASTE AT ALL. it takes hours and hours of cooking just to prepare and for more than a day if you wanna make it taste good. chinese eat shark fin soup because its a tradition and somehow its supposed to make those assholes feel supreme. i despise those who eat shark fin soup. those who eat shark fin soup and enjoys it knowingly that his simple happiness is destroying sea life should be skinned alive. SERIOUS.

  • shark at 1:46... crazy

  • I'm pretty sure he's drunk...

  • Great video that gets right to the point about the future of sharks and our oceans' ecosystems.

  • subsitutes? oh, chicken noodle soup

  • china has caused much harm to the world like the melanin scandal so f(_)ck off i say :)

  • @plugin7 it would lol....

  • its not really chinal it is the japanese

  • @starwarsboy9 Yeah Japs kill and hunt em for recreational purposes!

  • they serve sharks in chinese weddings. thats like a BILLION SHARKS

  • @UyghurLife Lmfao

  • no sharks! 

  • Chinese is named

  • This is a great video

    Direct and to the point

    Sharks Matter-With Out them the oceans die

    Without the oceans we die

    Its that simple

  • Sea lions would be very happy

  • Not the sharks! Gah!

    I'm scared of the water thanks to sharks (watched jaws about 2000 times too many as a kid, still love it, though), but i have a healthy respect for them and find them fascinating. Its a shame and i've signed petitions right and left to stop the practice of sharkfinning--some fishermen pull up the shark, cut off the fins, and drop it back overboard to become lunch for other fish in the sea, totally vulnerable. gah!

    Don't forget to see Shark Week--starts 8/1 this yr

  • Im petrified of sharks!

  • Why not breed them in captivity or clone them, I mean that's why we breed cows we eat them and we want to keep eating them.

  • @BonScottAC They are slow to breed, so you would have to have the sharks for a long enough time to do that, and whilst you do that with the sharks, all the species that they hunt on will have a 'baby boom' and those would overkill the species they hunt, and because so on so on ^^

  • @BonScottAC

    because the ocean-farms still are in the future

  • @BonScottAC You can't breed an apex predator, they need too much space and food. Any sort of farm operation would end with the sharks killing each other over mates or food because they don't have a large enough range.

  • @BonScottAC sharks arent exactly something you can keep in a fish tank, to this day sharks take years to reproduce, and to this day no one has ever seen a great white shark mate, its just something that we cannot control in captivity.

  • @MexicanSwanDiver 1st of all top rated comment, woohoo!!...my life is now complete. I was thinking In-vitro breeding, i know it's high tech but we can do it, so why not? I mean trying to convince ppl to do the right thing or using science to preserve a species? I think the science way is MUCH easier.

  • @BonScottAC I think what they're doing is already science. You do have a point but it is proven that species live longer and are much healthier if they learn to survive in their own habitat. If they do in-vitro, it will be extremely expensive and it does not guarantee the increase of the species' population.

  • @BonScottAC That would be really expensive. some of the poachers/hunters are doing it illegally. They want it fast, cheap and then resell high.

  • @BonScottAC

    probably becuase there are 400+ species of sharks?

  • @BonScottAC cows eat grass witch to be fair is the most common thing on the planet there is loads of it, plus they are always pumped with testosterone and bread naturally or we use artificial insemination to bread more, sharks need plenty of fish and safe waters to breed with global warming,the dieing of fish, pollution they cant breed and most sea life cant breed either.

  • @arle0127 Actually water and air are the most common things on earth. So we teach sharks how to be vegans like liberal hippies and breed them in captivity, vegans say eating meat is bad so tell the sharks, plus global warming is happening says Al Gore. You all eat veggies and I will keep eating meat driving my dodge diesel, haha.

  • @BonScottAC that way, they'll lose their killer instincts and just rely on man to feed them. and anyway, we need them in the wild to control the balance of the sea ecology.

  • well what i think would happen is more people would proberly go into the sea and enjoy it because no bastard shark is gonna eat you.

  • @TerryMMA85 Lets hope the squids don't get to you after they overpopulate because no-one feeds on them ^^

  • Humans are stupid.

  • sharks aren't bad animals, they only react upon instinct and kill and eat to meet their survival needs.

  • ;___; but I love sharks.... DX

  • china, u better not make great white sharks go extinct... or i WILL send a nuclear missile cock into ur asshole countries ass... if u dont make it extinct :D then we're buddy buddies.

  • @AngryBF2Nerd LOL 

  • DAMN ! 

  • NOT DRINK SHARK FINS SOUP... IT DOESNT REALLT TASTE "THAT" GOOD

  • @alex24716881

    thanks but

    i wasn't planning on it anyway.

  • and I felt bad for the dolphins

  • i say fuck war on oil we need to war on shark fin pirats

  • That = SUCKISH if sharks disappear.

    That = Discovery Channel rules.

  • justindefence=gawd i cant stand the japonese-a comment that an idiot wrote.

  • If you guys want to know more about this, you should cleck out "Shark Water". Discovery has played it a couple times, and you can find it up on Youtube. Its really powerful stuff.

  • FUCK YOU CHINA

  • @biggestfanof300 shut up racist bastard.

  • @biggestfanof300 ya!! DID U KNOW THEY KILL 100,000 THOUSAND SHARKS IN LESS THEN A WEEK? on a show i saw it was like green peace and he said thats how many are killed by china for shark fin soup and all they do is Bring the shark up and cut the fin off then throw it back in the ocean :( sad isnt it.

  • Comment removed
