Humans are SO MUCH dealier and meaner than any animal

[Ladycastaneda]

Great doc! I missed it last year but perhaps they will air it again. This an issue that needs more exposure. Even people who care about animals and the environment don't give a lot of thought to sharks. I for one, will. Support CA AB 376!

More people are killed by wolves, dogs, bears, lions, leopards, crocodiles, tigers, cars and dogs. Yet sharks are the dangerous ones?

[GuerrillaInYoMidst]

Sadly and insanely, I would think that Asian people would treasure non-farmed animals more than they do...they eat parts of animals, like parts of Tigers, etc., because they think they hold medicinal properties, or spiritual properties. Or they'll eat some shit like shark fin soup, for what? It's said that it doesn't even have a taste to it. Shit is sad. They're not alone, Africans eat bush meat which too comes from some rare animals.

Yeah, and sharks are the blood-lusting killers? Please, Jaws my ass.

yeah, i had to watch this in health class today and Im 17year old guy and this acutally made me sad cause thats just not right what they do to these defensless sharks. I hope the people that do this to sharks die the most painful death ever, kind of like the one that clyde does on that guy in Law Abiding Citizen.

People, please like this if you agree with me: People who do things like this, dont you think "what goes around come around". So, if they're doing that to the sharks, dont you think they should have their limbs cut off and dumped in the ocean as punishment. And another example, a man strangles a dog to death, the man should be strangled to death.

[Ang Jian Cong]

er...u like sharks?...



[MaryMoo755]

this makes me so mad. they're my favourite animals and people think they can go around chopping off their fins and killing them. It's disgraceful.
