CRAP !!

Sharks kill about 12 people a year. People kill about 11,400 sharks a DAY !.

An estimated 100 million sharks are killed globally each year, a figure that underscores the severe pressure these marine animals endure. This translates to approximately 11,417 sharks lost every hour due to human activities. These estimates are derived from comprehensive analyses of global fisheries data, which include reported catches, unreported landings, and discarded sharks. This data reveals a rate of decline that far exceeds the ability of most shark populations to recover.
