This is an article i found in the New York Times about shark fishing and allthough we fear these animals we must realize their species are quickly dwindling down. This takes place in the coco islands were the sharks come in hundreds, but recently discovered by marine science scuba divers, the sharks seem to be reduced by a lot, and now there are more fish than ever. These sharks have been killed off for their fins, in order to make shark fin soup. After the animals fins are cut off the sharks are thrown off the boat and left to be incapable of surviving, now it is common to see dead finless sharks washed up on shore countless places.
SHARK ATTACKS!

The worst of all shark attacks to happen was the incident of the USS Indianapolis, more than 900 men were thrown to the mercy of the sharks in the pacific ocean when the warship was split in 2 by Japanese torpedoes. It took four days for rescue teams to find the men, Out of the 900 who made it safely to life rafts 579 men were found dead as well as many bodies half chewed spart by sharks circling the life rafts. Hundreds of sharks were taunting them daily and one surviver said once you hear someone scream you know they had been attacked by the sharks.
When looking into all these articles on sharks I find that we need to be more careful about how we treat these animals because they are apart of our ecosystem and if we kill them all off, who knows what will happen to the rest of the animals. I was also very interested by the attacks happening by these giants because a lot of times our attention is not brought to it. Wether they attack or not something we have to remember is that when we enter the ocean we are in there teritory.
