Sharks
The website above states some of the commonly heard statements that make people believe that eating shark is okay. They then rebutt all this statements with some facts not known to many people.
Some interesting facts found in this website are:
-"You are sixteen times more likely to be hit by lightning than to be bitten by a shark." (To show that sharks rarely harm humans.
-"Top predators act as the caretakers of their environment, picking off the weak and sick of smaller species, helping to ensure strong and healthy populations and a balanced ecosystem." (To show that Sharks is important to ensure a balanced ecosystem. Killing sharks would disrupt the food chain.)
-"Firstly, finning means that the main part of the shark is wasted, only the fins are used. On top of this the act of finning a shark while the creature is still alive is barbaric and cruel and is a practice that would be illegal in most countries' slaughterhouses were it to be practised on a farm animal (for example if a lamb's legs were cut off and it were left to bleed to death in a crate)." (To reinstate the fact that killing sharks is cruel and needs to be banned.)
-"According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), 143 shark species (where there is sufficient data to determine conservation status) are at high risk of extinction either now or in the near future. That's over 55% of shark species." (To show the severity of this issue.)
-"shark has a very high level of mercury and the United States Environmental protection agency advises women and young children to avoid it" (To prove that sharks are bad for your health and should be avoided)
-"shark fins are often treated with hydrogen peroxide in order to make their color more appealing to consumers" (To reinstate the fact that sharks are bad for your health)
