Are you a Friend for Sharks?

+1 for shark conservation. Keep up the awesome work! Followed you on twitter :) 


 


 




Fishing for sport is cruel and what you are doing is (in most cases) ripping the gills of the fish open, damaging it's face or head, or otherwise injuring it in an unnecessary way - sure, you can return the fish to the water, but after being injured (which you may not even notice) it may eventually die as a result of not being as healthy as it should be, and the death can be slow and painful. Also, even if it survives, it's life can be hampered by the simple fact it was injured because of 'sport'.

Even considering only people who go to beaches, a person's chance of getting attacked by a shark in the United States is 1 in 11.5 million, and a person's chance of getting killed by a shark is less than 1 in 264.1 million.


Shark attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 


The odds of becoming a lightning victim in the U.S. in any one year is 1 in 700,000. The odds of being struck in your lifetime is 1 in 3,000. Lightning can kill people (3,696 deaths were recorded in the U.S. between 1959 and 2003) or cause cardiac arrest.Jun 24, 2005

That's about all that needs to drummed into people's heads - IF they would listen.
