Shark Cruelty Should Be Banned
There are over 500 species of sharks and they exist in every marine eco-system. They've been known as the apex-predator for millions of years and now they're being eliminated by a relatively new apex predator in which they have no natural protection against, the human.

As well, millions of sharks a year are being caught illegally for food, skin and being used for products, such as wallets, bags, their liver oil is being used for your skin and cosmetic products, cartilage ground down for medicines and tablets, jaws for tourists and for show, teeth for jewellery and fins for soups.
