Who are you?
How much money do you make selling sharks?
Where is your science to support what you are saying?
You just want install a sense of doubt and confusion to support your dirty business.
You BASTARDS!
BOYCOTT this movie!
"A ban on shark finning in UK waters is to be introduced by the government, ministers will announce this week. The practice, which involves slicing fins from sharks at sea and dumping their bodies overboard – often while still alive – has been heavily criticised by campaigners and blamed for pushing many shark species to the brink of extinction."

Manufacturing controversy is a dangerous weapon.
It needs to be cut out immediately.
Ignoring it does not work, it will only feed their controversy and people's doubt.
Let people know about these spammers and readdress what we can do to save these sharks as we need more awareness towards it.
Thank you for supporting the Sharks conservation and for your comment. - 2 years ago

A few weeks ago we got a series of emails from blog reader "Ethan" directing us to a seemingly "leaked clip" from a new film questioning the fundamental numbers of shark conservation. Ethan also contacted other Blue Bloggers with the same clip.
"100 million animals are killed each year."
As it turns out the leaked clip was not so leaked and is part of a half assed production now titled "The Shark Con." The premise being if you absolutely enrage dedicated members of the shark conservation movement by highlighting a few zero credibility, lowbrow naysayers, people will buy your film.
As we did not buy Tiburon Productions last half assed shark film we'll be giving this next effort a wide berth and are a little disappointed they did not approach us directly so we could have told them officially to go "crawl back under a rock."
In the interests of watching folks lose their minds to outrage here is the You Tube clip they are peddling around to anyone who will watch so you can post nasty controversial messages like this one:
"You're full of shit and I think you know you are full of shit. This is an attempt to make money and protect your interests by deliberately deceiving people. Find something useful to do with your time instead of destroying species that have every right to exist and which are vital for the health of our oceans."
On a personal note, with as much shark footage as Tiburon Productions have in the can and obvious desire to be part of the shark conservation movement, why bother with this effort?
Manufacturing controversy is as easy as following Sea Shepherds Whale Wars and a media world where facts mean little. Providing real and tangible solutions to shark declines is where the grunt work begins.
That is what we call shark conservation.
What, you afraid of some heavy lifting boys?

Sharks have remained pretty much unchanged for millions of years. Now man comes along and wipes them out in one or two generations, then justifies it by claiming they are detrimental to humans.
But it is the humans who are detrimental to all wildlife on this earth. - 2 years ago

"Between 60 and 90 million sharks are killed by humans each year"
"This is a mass-extinction event entirely of mankind’s creation. Many more consequences of these factors are still unknown but this severe depletion or possible extinction of such a vital predator as the shark which has been patrolling the oceans for over 400 million years will definitely cause irreversible damage to global marine ecosystems."
This passage in the article has surprised me:
"To maximise their profits the Spanish fisheries market abuses the consumer with incorrect product labelling so that shark meat can be passed as Emperor fish (Snapper fish) or Swordfish among many others because the similar tastes and textures can be easily confused by consumers. This deceit, deliberate or not, has caused the unintentional/unknowing consumption of shark by 96 per cent of the Spanish population."
They use shark skin for luxury products as bags ,shoes etc.
