Finning is the practice of cutting off the fins of a shark while it's still alive. After, they throw the live body back into the water. Then, the shark is left to dorwn(as they haveto keep moving), starve, or even eaten as they can only sink to the bottom.

Sharks are very misunderstood creatures. Soda pop machines kill more people than sharks. Sharks do not even ententially kill people! They bite, and then the human most likely dies from bleeding to death. The shark is such an elligent creature. I know people hear this a lot, to put yourself in someone else's shoes. We really need to put our self in the places of the sharks. They do not ententially kill humans, and yet we think it's okay to cut off their fins, and throw them back into the water to suffer. Finning may be illegal, but so many around the world still do it. Maybe if we can help by signing a petition, it will have just some kind of impact. To help keep our ecosystems balanced and healthy. Also, to just keep an amzing misunderstood creature safe, as nothing nor anyone deserves such a thing like finning.
