It should be an awesome event! More people the better! - kaitlyn Sun, 20 Mar 2011 07:08:28 +0100 http://www.sharksavers.org/en/education/shark-myths/23-media-hype.html#comment-438 Because of finning and overhunting shark numbers have plummeted from anywhere from 50-90%. This is absolutely ridiculous! Sharks play a major role in the ecosystem! Take away them and your signing a death sentence for the oceans and eventually the world! - Tatanya Tue, 24 Feb 2009 10:16:30 +0100 http://www.sharksavers.org/en/education/shark-myths/23-media-hype.html#comment-47 Just in case you English speakers wanted to understand the previous post, here's a translation: Sharks are not the beasts, but humans! At an average of every 3 seconds a shark is killed. With this we are ruining our ocean ecosystem. This is where we need to start to sensitize the people and make them aware of the topic. It is not about stopping finning or stopping sales of shark products but rather we need to let people know that sharkfin soup is toxic! Methylmercury is concentrated in the fins of sharks and it responsible for health impacts ranging from headaches to infertility. Please also do not purchase any shark products.

Ca. alle 3 Sekunden stirbt ein Hai. Wir ruinieren damit unser Ökosystem Meer. Hier müssen wir ansetzen, die Menschen zu sensibilisieren und mit der Thematik vertraut machen. Es geht nicht nur darum, das Finnen von Haien zu verbieten und den Verkauf von Haiprodkten zu stoppen, sondern es muß den Leuten bewusst gemacht werden, dass Haifischflossensuppe giftig ist. Methylquecksilber lagert sich in Haifischflossen ab, dieses kann Krankheiten vom Kopfschmerz bis zur Unfruchtbarkeit hervorrufen. Also verzichten Sie auf den Kauf von Haifischprodukten.
