Just because sharks bite and attack people doesn't mean you have to kill them.

sharks need protecting

kalebcuster — 2023-02-23 14:08:51 UTC

Sharks need protecting because they are not dangerous they just defend themselves they do not kill because they want to the do it to protect themselves so they don't die because if they didn't their fins would be cut off and with out fins they would die because they would not be able to breathe.

Kill sharks before they attack humans

johnmorgan13 — 2023-02-23 14:09:23 UTC

People are killed by sharks every year. A man was killed by a shark in western Australia on July 14. A man had suffered serious injuries after being bitten by a shark on the east coast of Australia. A great white shark attacked and killed a 33-year-old diver in Australia. I chose this because I believe that sharks are vicious and dangerous.

Stop Shark Finning

yeilimedinaantunez — 2023-02-23 14:09:44 UTC

You shouldn't grab animals, no matter how dangerous they are, you shouldn't hide the world because you wouldn't like to be treated the same, you shouldn't do what you don't like and I chose it because they are animals and they don't deserve it let them eat them or other things.

should swimmers worry about sharks

serenitysumptersarvi — 2023-02-23 14:10:13 UTC

Swimmers should worry about sharks because sharks are mostly where swimmers swim like Florida beach, .and most people live there and go to the beach so there is sharks that could of get them. also in the east coast , and people can get hurt by them and die, and its not fair. so they should worry about where they swim and how.

Stop Shark Finning

annayabanks — 2023-02-23 14:11:48 UTC

Even, though sharks can be harmful and bite once they track or smell blood doesn't mean you have to kill them for prey. They will only harm you unless you harm them or others.

Should Swimmers Worry About Sharks?

kylasindab — 2023-02-23 14:13:39 UTC

I believe that Swimmers should worry about Sharks because of how dangerous sharks can be. For example if you run into an bull shark or an white head you could be in a lot of trouble and could even be killed in this kind of situation. Swimmers should also worry about how deep they're going into the ocean due to how sharks are very powerful animals that live and survive in water.

Sharks Need Protecting

nancysancheznunez — 2023-02-23 14:14:34 UTC

I chose this text because sharks shouldn't feel like they are endangered. They hurt humans to protect themselves, without their fins they could die from not being able to breathe.

No tienen que matar a los tiburones aunque sean peligrosos y vengan a atacar a los tiburones, no tienen que ser sacrificados.

swimmers should be worried about sharks

jaydenfriday — 2023-02-23 14:17:51 UTC

chloedolley — 2023-02-23 14:19:16 UTC

Sharks suffer by their fins getting cut off.Sharks suffer alive and cut their important body part.When you cut off their fins they die.When they die they get to the bottom of the ocean and get eaten by other fish,leaving them to die.People should not chop off sharks fins for money.

swimmers should not worry about sharks

aylaard — 2023-02-23 14:19:43 UTC

No they should not worry because it's rare for them to ever attack humans they attack 70 incidents annually a year. And a shark attack ended up saving a man's life, The chance of being in a shark attack is one in 3.7 million. And as long as you don't splash as much you wont get attacked and if a shark is circling you keep your head on a swivel and try to maintain eye contact and they most likely wont attack you.

swimmers shouldn't worry about the sharks

zhakariyabrantley — 2023-02-23 14:20:16 UTC

Swimmers maybe be worry about sharks because it depends on where that person is or were the sharks is at like if the sharks are far then they dont worry. but if they are close then the people should be worry but really sharks are far these days so people really shouldn't worry and if they are then the life gards would deal with it.

Shark Finning: Sharks Turned Prey

yosariantunezespinoz — 2023-02-23 14:20:38 UTC

Sharks thrown back into the oceans after being finned die in agony from suffocation, blood loss or predation marine animals and habitats would suffer Shark finning is unsustainable.

The need of sharks protection

julianlinen — 2023-02-23 14:25:49 UTC

Like all animals you have to be careful with sharks which is one of the reasons you don't have them as pets because there wild animals and dangerous but it is some people that just want to mess with them they are the ones that are going extinct because of greedy people that want money shark fins are worth a lot of money which is why people want them but if they cut those off then they die because they have to move to live when the fin gets cut off they suffocate on the ground with some animals about to eat them.The reason I chose this because they are the ones getting killed daily and we might not even know that it's happening and that is why sharks need protection.

alexandermcneil3 — 2023-02-23 14:26:52 UTC

Stop Shark Finning

josephhucks — 2023-02-23 15:13:23 UTC

Shark finning is where fisher men hunts a shark and catch it. Then they grab a knife and cut its fin off while he shark is still alive and they throw the sharks right back in the water.Its just wrong to take a part of a animal and then not even finish them off but thinking not killing it would be better.

Sharks Need Protection

alexwaldron — 2023-02-23 15:13:58 UTC

Sharks need protection Because a lot of the population of sharks have gone because they get hunted for their fins and that's the only reason why some people hunt them and this is important because most of the population of sharks have gone down due to these hunters hunting them and killing them for their fins.

Sharks Need Protecting

janiyadewitt — 2023-02-23 15:16:59 UTC

Shark "Finning" is a big part of the reason why many types of sharks are in danger. Finning is horrible practice of chopping off sharks' fins, often while they are still alive, and throwing them back in the ocean.

Stop Shark Finning

stormransom — 2023-02-23 15:19:12 UTC

Sharks are dying because of finning and the population is decreasing and this is wrong and more and more sharks are being hunted down and being finned and that is wrong that should be illegal and that is why people should stop finning sharks and this could affect the ocean environment and other fish could die from this so shark finning needs to stop.

Should Swimmers be worried about sharks?

michaelprince2 — 2023-02-23 15:19:46 UTC

Swimmers should not be worried about sharks because swimmers shouldn't be all the way out in sea unless there in a boat to protect them. If the swimmers are out in the sea without a boat whatever is in the water could attack the swimmer.

Sharks Need Protecting

fionanicholson1 — 2023-02-23 15:19:48 UTC

Sharks, like every other animal, need protection. A large amount of the Shark population is slowly dying due to being hunted for their fins. Infact one of the only reasons they are hunted is because of their fins. However their fins help them to survive so it's killing off millions of Sharks when people hunt them for their fins.

henrybaker1 — 2023-02-23 15:20:08 UTC

People should not always worry about sharks because sharks mainly react to splashing because to them that means a injured animal so that why most of the time shark attacks happen and most of the time it is safe for people to swim with sharks .

should swimmers worry about sharks

dylanvillagomezflore — 2023-02-23 15:20:30 UTC

I think swimmers should worry about sharks because they can get bit by a shark at any moment and they hide in the water and they probably might sneak up on a swimmer and start attacking it.

Kill sharks before they kill humans

camdenbellamy — 2023-02-23 15:28:28 UTC

I think that sharks should be killed because they are very dangerous because a grate white shark attacked 33 year old diver from Australia and he suffered and died.people die every year from shark attacks.i choose this because i believe that they are scary and dangerous.

alaynamoore2 — 2023-02-23 15:30:36 UTC

I think swimmers should worry about sharks because it's very dangerous to swim with sharks in a ocean that could kill you. Sharks are very harmful they are very attached and eat everything they see that's humans,blood,fish, and cards etc. That's why i think swimmers should worry about sharks.

jayleenpolanco — 2023-02-23 16:18:32 UTC

People should stop finning sharks because the sharks won't hurt you unless you hurt them. Also, the sharks won't hurt you if you are not near their habitat which is very deep in the water they also won't hurt you. This shows why people should stop finning sharks.

Sharks Need Protecting.

isabellaray1 — 2023-02-23 16:19:34 UTC

The sharks should be protected because many people have been finning sharks, causing them to sink and die. It also tells us that they only put them back in the ocean because the fin cost a lot more that an regular shark. This tells us they are doing it for the money. People don't think to save sharks but they think to save cute puppy seals or anything else cute rather than protecting the endangered sharks.

Shark Finning: Sharks Turned Prey

gavinalford1 — 2023-02-23 16:19:41 UTC

Humans need to stop finning sharks, I say this because when people fin sharks, instead of keeping the rest of the shark, they throw the shark back into the water with no fin. That makes the sharks unable to swim, so they stay still and either dies by blood loss or suffocation. Another reason why humans should stop finning sharks is because in the article "Shark Finning" it says that approximately 100 million sharks are killed globally every year.

Shark finning: Shark Turned Prey

masenries — 2023-02-23 16:19:50 UTC

In the text Shark Finning the author is bias because they only support the ending of sharks finning. A example is that they do not address counterclaims or arguments that support shark finning.

Stop shark finning

alexandersanchez16 — 2023-02-23 16:20:12 UTC

Every year 100 million sharks are killed just so people can eat the fin. Why this needs to stop is because this has a drastic change messes up the ecosystem, These sharks aren't even given a peaceful way out their fins are cut off and they are thrown back into the ocean where they either suffocate or bleed out. And with their low reproduction rate the sharks can go extinct if this keeps happening.

Should Swimmers Worry About Sharks?

Divyen — 2023-02-23 16:20:19 UTC

Swimmers should be most definitely worry about these dangerous predators; When talking about sharks they can be vicious but in most cases people drown to their death when panicking about the predator that is to the side of them. This is why swimmers should not engage to the depths of the ocean.

stop shark finning.

bladonmartin — 2023-02-23 16:20:24 UTC

The art of shark finning is both harmful to the sharks livelihood but it all so decreases the survival chance of other sharks. When a shark is inhumanly finned they can't swim fell or efficiently hunt so they sink to the bottom of the sea bed and the poachers do nothing to help preserve the sharks that have been finned and and they leave the rest of the body to rot.

Shark finning: Sharks turned prey

rivermeyers — 2023-02-23 16:21:35 UTC

People use the fins to cook but Sharks will become extinct if people keep doing this to Sharks.

Stop Shark finning

connorstoltz — 2023-02-23 16:21:53 UTC

Sharks can die by people fining them. Sharks can die a slow death because of this and get thrown back into the water. When the shark is thrown into the water it can die of starvation or get eaten by other fish.

Kill Sharks Before They Attack Humans?

faithjones11 — 2023-02-23 16:21:56 UTC

I think you should kill sharks because they are really dangerous and will kill you as soon as they see you. Sharks kill us but we are innocent people and don't do anything to harm them in anyway. That's why I think sharks should be killed I hate to kill animals but these are dangerous predators.

Should swimmers worry about sharks.

brandynjohnson — 2023-02-23 16:22:17 UTC

I think swimmers should watch out for sharks but i don't think they should be worried. I'm saying that because it says that there are a more likely chance of you dying by a coconut then you getting attacked or dying from a shark. They don't think you are prey they just eat other sea animals that they can find. My personal opinion is that they should be cautious but they shouldn't be worried.

Stop Shark Finning

harrisonmaynard — 2023-02-23 16:26:12 UTC

Sharks can kill people but they are usually friendly unless they feel threatened so it's not the sharks fault that people are dying. If sharks smell blood they will go towards it and eat whatever is bleeding.

Stop shark finning.

ravenknight — 2023-02-23 16:27:54 UTC

I believe that shark Finning is wrong because if People Keep Finning sharks the gout possibly become extinct. Also if People want to Finn sharks to eat the fins they can get artificial sharks meat. Also menu sharks can die doing this.

We should stop shark finning

camdenlapointe — 2023-02-23 18:05:06 UTC

I think that shark finning is wrong because if you take of there fin and throw there still alive body in the water it can't swim so it will drown because it needs to move so the gills can process oxygen. Also if they cant move most fish will come and eat the shark leading it to die.

Sharks need protecting

rachelallen19 — 2023-02-23 18:07:19 UTC

I think sharks need to be a protected species and that is why I choose this. Everyone has a life and sharks don't intentionally harm they do it of instinct that you are going to harm them. They are trying to protect there selfs and with everyone hurting them they are going to become extinct if we aren't careful. We need to save the sharks.

Stop Shark Finning

aaroncain — 2023-02-23 18:08:25 UTC

I chose this because i think it is very wrong just to chop off their fins and kill them without good reasoning. I understand how good shark fins are but it is unjustified to do this. Another reason is that all the shark body's are normally wasted making this very cruel because all you're doing is killing the sharks and wasting them which is very wasteful.

Sharks should be protected

wyntervaleo — 2023-02-23 18:09:41 UTC

Sharks need to be protected because people are de-finning them and then they can't breathe because they aren't moving so that causes them to sink and die. Sharks are a part of the cycle and if they go extinkt a lot of other animals will to.

Kill sharks before they attack humans

Should we kill sharks before they kill us?

adalynsmith11 — 2023-02-23 18:14:11 UTC

I choose this topic because I think its very wrong to kill sharks just because they attack people rarely. In 2010 there was only about 50-100 people who died of a shark attack. Sharks attack humans because they mistake people as fish. Sharks do not want to eat people, they jst want fish.

Stop Shark Finning.

adalynnlawrimore — 2023-02-23 18:14:52 UTC

I think that people should stop finning sharks because way to many sharks are dying and soon enough they'll become extinct because they cant survive without their fins. People are using the sharks fins for soup but leaving there body to die.

Should Swimmers be worried about sharks?

raleighdwyer — 2023-02-23 18:15:56 UTC

I think swimmers should be worried about sharks because sometimes sharks may think that humans are fish or a shark might be mad and attack the person. For example a 17 and 12 year old went out to go swimming in knee deep water and both got attacked by sharks.

Stop shark finning.

sanaitorresdavila — 2023-02-23 18:16:45 UTC

I chose this article because humans need to stop shark finning because a lot of sharks are dying because of shark finning. Although sharks are dangerous predators it doesn't mean that we can just cut their fins. I also think it's not good to just take their fins for food. Shark fin soup might be a delicious meal but it's not right.

Stop Shark Finning

vivienclardy — 2023-02-23 18:17:04 UTC

I believe shark finning is wrong because you're killing an animal that has been around longer than dinosaurs. The shark population has gone down 95% just from people finning sharks, they deserve better. In my opinion shark fin soup shouldn't have been created, it's harming the sharks. Because after the person fins the shark they put them back in the water which can lead to them drowning, and getting eaten alive. Sharks are actually very friendly unless they feel threatened by some way. This is why I picked Stop Shark Finning.

Kill sharks before they kill humans

egyptyork — 2023-02-23 18:19:32 UTC

Sharks are usually in the deeper areas of the ocean but if they are found on shore or near a popular beach they will go on a killing spree if they could. Sharks are extremely vitous and they should be killed, the article stated that seven people were attacked by sharks in the most recent attack a victim was swimming in front of a lifeguard stand when a gray shark, as large as seven feet long, pulled him under the water and bit him on the rib cage and that is why we should kill sharks before they kill us.

Shark Finning: Sharks Turned Prey

I know that shark finning is wrong in some places in the world sharks are a protected spechs and they are some of the world top fish population control. brutality is that they will struggle hours on end suffering. I think it is so unfair how we violate them and leave them to die.

Sharks need protecting

nedaghiasi — 2023-02-23 18:19:52 UTC

I chose this article because I feel that sharks are thought of as just scary beasts that roam the ocean and that they don't need protecting from anything. But Sharks are also the most hunted by fisherman. They are sold for millions of dollars for their fins and meat. I don't think it is their fault for attacking humans since they have poor eyesight and can only rely on their sense of smell to spot prey. Besides even if they were able to see they don't like the taste of human flesh so they just spit them out after they bite.

stop shark finning

raygandaniels — 2023-02-23 18:20:00 UTC

I chose this article because more and more sharks are being killed from shark finning everyday. Its an understandance for people to use sharks every once and awhile, but to take a shark out of the water and take their fin that they need to swim and not even use the rest of the shark is cruel. Sharks are just dying in a slow, painful manner, not only is it cruel for people to kill animals but as soon as they do something to us , their immediate danger and a threat to the human kind. No one ever really thinks that maybe we are a threat to animals. so stop shark finning !

Sharks Need Protecting

juanvaldiviareyes — 2023-03-10 17:23:33 UTC

I picked ''Sharks Need Protecting'' because sharks are super friendly when it comes to humans but they also feal so insecure when humans are near by that's why they fight back or even threating people, also they fight back by being threating or their habitat is destroy that's why they fight back.
