Persuasive Essay Against Shark Finning

Shark finning should not be allowed since poachers are throwing away shark carcases back into the ocean wasting away the majority of meat and only keeping the fins making the shark population decline rapidly, it is also inhumane to kill any animal in such a manner, and the loss of sharks are destroying ecosystem. I completely disagree with the waste of sharks and the idea of killing mass populations of sharks for just fins, the results are more severe than one would think since other populations will die out or increase in the marine biology. Beum et al found out that eight species of shark have declined by fifty percent. Over the course of 10 years of shark finning. Sharks are being killed at a rate of one-hundred million a year.

Tossing and turning destined to bleed to death is not just the way sharks victims of shark finning, these same sharks that are thrown back finless are eaten alive by other sharks or crustaceans at the bottom of the ocean usually covering a space in the ocean in blood since thousands are being done the same thing over and over in just an hour. This is okay? Only because sharks and other aquatic organisms are just fish? If this was a case through a human’s view to another human which is already inhumane to sharks. How does the idea of a man/woman of any age and size losing its arms, legs, ears,
