Shark Week?

This is my second post today, is that a blogging "no-no"? Oh well, I have a lot to say. Okay let's go. Shark Week. I'm rather terrified of sharks to be honest, "Jaws" really messed me up. I understand they're beautiful, but the only way I want to be around a shark is if it is behind aquarium walls, thick acrylic, bullet proof plexiglass sort of deal. I watched a whole show about survivors of shark attacks yesterday. They said on average 5 people are bitten a year, but this seems a bit wrong since they were talking about the "rogue shark theory" and 5 people were torn apart in a span of about a week around Egypt (if I remember right). To make my fear worse, we bought a Timeshare in the shark bite capital of the world, New Smyrna Beach, Florida. I usually stay in the pool. The one time I actually got in the ocean a friend's little brother scared me (he went behind me, went under the water and grabbed my leg. I screamed like a little baby). I just remember thinking "This is how I'm going to die." morbid right? But back to how pretty sharks are. They're gorgeous, and people are poaching them for dorsal fin soup. Sometimes fisherman are trying to trap bigger fish like sable fish or marlin in net traps or something they call "long lines", but they get sharks instead and kill them. Reproductive and growth rates for sharks are slow causing them to become vulnerable to over fishing. Come on people, is dorsal fin soup really worth killing off the majestic shark? I want my grandchildren to be able to see a shark in real life, not in a book because they are extinct. Save the Sharks! (And polar bears, save them too!)
