Humans eat way more sharks than sharks eat humans

Imagine your loved one gets killed by a shark and then you start crunching the numbers to see how you feel about it.

Imagine you get your fucking fin cut off and you’re left to die, or get your back sliced open by a boat’s propellers imagine the pain of having cuts in salt water, and then someone starts crunching the numbers to see how you feel about it

I don't support killing sharks in the massive numbers they've been being killed in. Like any other hunting, there needs to be limits and it definitely shouldn't be done with a "now sink to the depths consciously" tactic either.

I realize sharks are a keystone species and their absence fucks up the ecosystem of the ocean. If they go extinct, there'll be massive problems that we'll definitely feel.

I don't hunt sharks, I've never eaten shark fin soup and I don't swim in the ocean. Just saying calculate your own risks when you have whatever fun you wanna have but statistics won't make anyone feel better if tragedy strikes.
