Shark Dinner

Sharks provide people with a variety of different resources. We use their muscles and fins as food and oil from their liver is used in medicines, soap, cosmetics and as a source of Vitamin A. For centuries, people have used shark skin and teeth as tools and weapons. Unfortunately some fishing practices and anti-shark measures are wasteful. Sharks have suffered far more destruction at human hands than they have inflicted.
