Shark Attack. Sike!



Hey, did you know sharks have existed on this planet for approximately 400 million years- long before dinosaurs? In this time they have survived 4 mass extinctions that wiped out nearly everything on the planet; and in just the past 50 years humans have managed to deplete the world's shark population by nearly 90 percent. Pretty amazing. At the current fishing rate, about 90 million sharks per year, my kids will be able to swim in our polluted oceans without the fear of being snagged by one of those dickheads. I'd just like to take a minute and thank the real heroes, who put themselves at risk by overtly turning their backs on international fishing laws in order to keep our waters shark free.
