Exactly, sharks are not that scary in comparison to humans.
50 million sharks are killed only for fins - a delicacy for the Chinese market, where they are sold as the main ingredient of finfish soup.
The finning of shark fins is particularly bloody: the shark is caught, the fins are removed, and thrown back to the sea, where by the inability to swim hangs on the bottom and dies eaten by other predators or choked ( The shark breathing is closely linked to the movement).
In Hong Kong there is 80% of the shark fin market: Europe has provided, up to 2013/1 / 3 of fins, with Spain in the head, followed by Britain, Norway and also France and Italy.
From 2013 on, the practice of finning in the European Union was banned, but this practice continues to be legal in China and other states.
