Worldwide shark populations are dwindling.
Basking sharks, once prevalent around the Canterbury coastline
are now a rarity.
Because sharks come top of the food chain the Great Whites
and Makos etc have relatively small population sizes and are much more
vulnerable to overfishing.
Many sharks are killed, deliberately and accidentally for
their fins which end up as soup up in Asia.
Meanwhile in the Southern Oceans an eco-pirate flotilla is
fighting Japanese whalers.
These also end up on the tables of Asian restaurants but all
the neutral stats indicate whale populations are generally growing.
So why don’t the likes of Greenpeace, Sea Shepherds of the
world get out in the local oceans just 10 miles from the coast of N.Z and protect
sharks and not whales?
That’s because it’s not in their financial interests to save
sharks.
Sharks are feared creatures whilst cuddly whales are the
eco-poster centrefolds.
Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd groups have painted themselves
into a corner, made ‘whales’ their bread and butter, money pit.
Both groups are morally bankrupt.
They are now no longer neutral in their desire to save
animals.
There IS currently a greater need to save dwindling shark
populations rather than whales and who are they out chasing in the middle of
no-where?
The money that’s what!
They only want to save creatures like whales, pandas and
giant apes that will attract funds for them to keep their jobs.

Some information so you can be a little bit more informed. Check out the groups involved.
Note, shark finning is legal and whaling is illegal. Therefore there are two different strategies involved in trying to stop them
No whaling is not illegal and shark finning is still legal in some places, NZ is one of them. Educating the public is not what the sscs does, Proven.
