But, let’s look at the other side of the story – How many sharks do people kill? Well Ithink you already know this: People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousandsof sharks. One reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people startedto have contests to see who kill the most sharks or the bigger sharks. Another reason that people killsharks is for food. In some countries, such as the United States and Great Britain, shark meat is apopular food. In other countries, such as China, people use shark fins to make soup. Because so manypeople like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food.So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting worriedthat the number of sharks is getting too small. That’s why many biologists think we should stop killingso many sharks, and instead try to protect them – or else some day they may all be gone. Somecountries have already passed some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, haspassed laws that limit the number of sharks that people can kill or food or for sport. So even thoughsome people like to hunt sharks, we do need protect them.
