the earth and our oceans really need sharks, they are one of the top creatures of the ecosystem and i would imagine some other things would over populate like crazy if they were not around causing major problems

Yeah if you remove one part of a chain or ecosystem the whole lot goes to shit. The fact that they are being killed just for fins (with the bodies dumped back) is disgusting.

[quote=Death_Hand_Luke][quote=CaNnAbIsViLLe]Actually there is another animal/organism which behaves in pretty much the same way, a virus.

A virus will reproduce in it's host to the point of killing it, essentially killing itself. So therefore humans are Gaia's virus.

While I agree something should be done (member of Greenpeace and Cal Wildlife Conservation), there is a much bigger problem that we face. Imo the big picture we should be concentrating on is global warming.

What good is it to protect a species if we're destroying the whole earth?[/quote]

Agreed.  Global warming is a big issue but hard to fight on a small scale individual level.  I do my part though... my research is improving the efficiency and reducing the emissions of petrol engined cars.

Though that doesn't stop support of smaller ecosystems.  As a diver I have a soft spot for sharks (LOVE diving with them) and marine life.  I am a member of Bite Back and also an RSPB member.[/quote]

There are small things we can all do together that can and would have a major impact. Stop eating/curb eating red meat, change all lights in your house to cfl bulb, recycle, compost and carpool a couple times a week ;)

Also, everyone should write their congressmen/woman to pressure them to support the research for alternative fuels and stop being puppets for big oil.

To play devil's advocate, what makes sharks any different than cows? Here you are raising awareness for saving an animal species yet contribute to the killing of another by the millions?? :confused: lol
