Shark Culling Persuasive Speech

Shark attacks still happen to this day. There’s nothing more terrifying than hearing a story in the news of a mighty, great white shark killing an innocent person.

Sharks, the scariest, biggest, baddest creatures! That's what we make them out to be, but are they really? The answer is no, we say that. We kill more of them than they kill of us, about 900,094 more. Sharks, being carnivores, are NOT natural predators of humans.

Secondly, Sharks have been around for millions of years and have their own place on this earth, we have no right to kill them. Sharks first swam in the earth oceans around 420 to 450 million years ago. Trees first started growing around 385 million years ago. Sharks are

Sharks have been in our oceans for almost 450 million years. Those millions of years of evolution have allowed many different shark species to develop abilities, and to become perfect predators.

Arising over 350 million years ago, the shark species has been labeled as a human devourer. Now, with the increase in human population, the demand for shark meat, fins, and cartilage are at an all time high; therefore, the existence of the shark is becoming a concern (Budker 1971). Individuals are conditioned to think of sharks as a negative aspect to the environment, which is prolonging the effort to save shark species from becoming extinct. With that in mind, some private as well as national organizations have accepted the challenge of educating and informing people about the existence of the shark specie and its importance to the sea.

Is shark culling okay given the number of shark attacks that have occurred? Recently it seems that the number of shark attacks has increased with seven fatal attacks in the past 3 years in Western Australia (WA). These recent attacks have led the WA Government being granted an exemption to start culling sharks with a catch-and-kill shark program. A lot of people including scientists and surfers are against this controversial decision. For people to make an informed decision they need to have an understanding of where the shark fits into the marine ecosystem, as well as the reasons presented for the use of shark culling and the arguments given that oppose such extreme measures.

Fish 1and chips, messed up ecosystems and broken food chain. Why do we have to cull our beautiful sharks that have done no harm to us? I have conducted a research about shark culling and why people do this. I strongly disagree to shark culling. I mainly think that we should just keep an eye out on the sharks in the ocean. They only mistake us a seals and eat us. We should all incorporate and help increase the population of sharks again. Now why do people cull sharks and how can we prevent this? What does shark culling affect?

People visceral when they see a shark and they try to capture and kill it. Only some people want to protect sharks. Sharks help by keeping the fish population down First, we can protect sharks by doing little things such as stop finning sharks, picking up our trash. Next people destroy environments by oil spills. Not picking up trash. Last if people don’t stop finning sharks and not throwing their trash away our environment will smell bad and we will have no sharks left.

To this day, many of us still see them this way. In fact, coastal states stared to host shark culling events. In these sometime month-long events, a state government will pay any fishermen to bring in a freshly killed shark generous amounts of money. Peter Benchley, the author of "Jaws" doesn't support shark culling, he in fact helped raise awareness about sharks becoming endangered. He wrote articles about how misunderstood sharks are (Benchley, Peter). This is now illegal in the United States, but is still practiced in countries such as Japan and Australia. Even in those countries, shark culling is on its way out. But

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s article “The Brutal Business of Shark Finning” reminds us that sharks play a key role in the ocean as both predators and scavengers.

More and more people have been introduced to a very dangerous practice called shark-finning. Even the people who are aware of the harmful effects they bring still continue on doing it. People are afraid of sharks due to their fierce appearance and the bad publicity they get such as the movies wherein sharks attack humans. Only about 5 people are killed by sharks every year. In fact, vending machines has a higher death rate of 13, while ants can kill about 30 people annually. Sharks are very beneficial to us, why do people keep on harming them? Why is shark-finning so important? Shark-finning gives both advantages and disadvantages economically, politically, cultural, societal, and environmental. It is important to recognize the

Australia acknowledges their pumping hearts and moving muscles, and as breathing, living beings. Trials all across Australia are being undertaken to cull sharks for human enjoyment and safety in beaches. This is not only completely and utterly cruel but it also has a substantial effect on many other factors. It is vital that we end shark culling now! Culling is the process of which the population of wildlife is reduced.

Sharks shouldn’t be culled in order to make our waters safer for beach goers because sharks are necessary to the ecosystem, they’re eating for survival and there are ethical/moral issues involved. Sharks should not be culled because they are necessary to the ecosystem. In every species there are the sick, old and dying. A shark grooms the species and ensures the population is left healthy. The shark’s ‘grooming’ prevents disease from spreading and ensures the population is controlled which strengthens gene pools within a species (Wild Aid Shark Savers 2016).
