MODERATORS
That and because they're considered a pest by fishing boats. Humans kill 100 Million Sharks a year, and we sure as heck aren't eating that many fins. If we did there would be a massive mercury epidemic causing infant deformity, dementia, organ failure, and loss of fertility.
That's not even 0.1% of the total fish we kill every year. Granted, that's just sheer numbers, not weight
Weird flex but okay
My point being we sure as heck could be eating that many fins
That would be a huge mistake, sharks are filled with Mercury.
Delicious mercury.
Sharks hunt smaller predatory fish, which hunt for the same fish as humans. By killing sharks the fishermen are actually increasing their competition.
Huh? what are these smaller predatory fish that we don't eat?
smaller sharks for instance.
And meanwhile there have been 108 attacks on humans in 2022
