Inspired by a Love for Sharks

Friday, 20 April 2012 00:00 Written by Jamie Pollack

Sam dreams of one day petting a tiger shark. Julie swims with them around the world and runs a non-profit dedicated to saving them. Together, this unlikely duo of Shark Angels is leading a movement to make a real difference for one of the most feared and malaligned animals on the planet. An animal they both happen to adore.

Mourning the Loss of Our Tiger Sharks

Sunday, 15 April 2012 00:00 Written by Jamie Pollack

alt

This morning, 14 tiger sharks were caught in a single shark net installation off the coast of South Africa. World outrage has ensued, as these sharks, who have become infamous around the world thanks to the amazing photos and videos from the Shark Angels, are a protected species living in a protected area in a country who prides themself on being able to let tourists experience a Big "7" - which ironically includes sharks  - the very species the government is slaughtering. The 14 fully grown adults - including pregnant females - caught and many of them killed - in a single day is not only heartwrenching, it is a disaster for the local environment and economy. . Read Shark Angel Gail's firsthand account of the REAL TRUTH. Not the Sharks Board manipulative and inaccurate report of the situation (who are desperate to control the media and want to earn their $4.5 million a year to kill the species that desperately needs protection). 

The days of killing animals out of fear are over.  And one only need to look at Yellowstone Park, in the U.S., as a prime example as to the far-reaching impacts of these short-sighted acts. South Africa - a country whose environmental policies, fueled by booming eco-tourism, should be setting precedence for the world. At a time when we are racing through our natural resources at unsustainable rates, destroying wild animals simply because we can, or because of irrational fears fueled by a lack of knowledge, is no longer acceptable. We will not stand for this destruction.

Telling the Shark Truth: Angel Claudia Li

Friday, 13 April 2012 00:00 Written by Jamie Pollack

Claudia Li

Claudia Li is one amazing young woman - leading the charge for sharks. Founder of Shark Truth, she is also a shark angel, working tirelessly on their behalf. As a first generation Chinese-Canadian, Claudia is in a unique position to build champions from within the community who will fight for sharks - and the environment. Like Claudia, the Shark Angels believe this is a world issue - not a cultural one - and are thrilled to call her one of our own. Read her story, about her organization and more about shark fin soup - from someone who grew up eating it. We are inspired by this angel, and we know you will be too.

The Truth About Sharks

image One
Predator or Prey

Sharks kill fewer than 4 humans on average each year, while humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks annually.

image Two
Evolved to Perfection

Sharks have been honed to perfection, having existed on this planet for over 400 million years.

image Three
Why We Need Sharks

Sharks play a vital role at the top of the food chain by maintaining balance in the oceans.

image Four
Looming Extinction

* An estimated 73 million sharks are killed each year (that works out to more than 10,000 sharks per hour).

image Five
Shark Fin Soup

Shark fins are tasteless, and may contain high levels of toxic methyl-mercury.

image Six
Laws Protecting Sharks

Only a small number of countries have banned finning - many more need to be encouraged to enact legislation.

Shark Products

Many people assume that because they don’t eat shark fin soup – then they can’t possibly be contributing to the demise of the sharks and rays.
