Sharks are endangered
Sharks are going extinct. Every year sharks attack around 100 people and only around 10 of them die. Every year humans kill around 100 million sharks. Sharks are killed for a few reasons. but mainly shark finning. Sharks are taken on to a boat and the either get their fins cut off and chucked back in the ocean to die. Or they sharks fins are cut off and the shark is left on the boat to be used for other things. Shark fin soup is very expensive. Sadly the meat of the fin is actually tasteless. Its the broth the meat is but in that gives it the taste. People like the texture of the meat.The other parts of the shark that get used are the teeth and jaws, for souvenirs. There is oil in the sharks liver that help the shark to stay afloat. This oil is used in a lot of make up. Mainly in lipstick.
