Sharkwater banner...
« on: July 26, 2008, 07:42:52 PM »
Guys, I put the banner on the right side of our forum for one reason, to try and get the word out about the problem we are having with people killing millions of sharks.

I don't make anything off the banner, so I obviously feel pretty good about what this video represents.

I've ordered their video myself and quite frankly, it's alarming what is happening without any government officials stepping in.  In the video it talks about shark finning in other countries, but it's happening here in the US as well.

I watched a documentary on Discovery less than a week ago talking about long liners.  Long liners will catch thousands of sharks a day and kill every single one of them before they drop them back into the ocean, regardless of size.

We are killing our oceans and don't even know it, but who can we tell that will listen?

Kudos!  I've been watching Shark Week this week and it really enforces my love for those animals.
