Are they an endangered species? That is the point here. That and poaching them only for their fins.

>That and poaching them only for their fins.

This is the part I personally find most disturbing. When you see videos of shark finners slicing them off the shark while still in the water, leaving it to bleed to death it's very disturbing.

If people were eating the meat as well, and they were being fished at a sustainable level (so not endangered species), I'd have no issue with it.

Why does the method of killing make a difference to you?
