to make soup Because so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot ofsharks to sell for food

So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks Some biologistsare getting worried that the number of sharks is getting too small That’s why manybiologists think we should stop killing so many sharks, and instead try to protectthem – or else some day they may all be gone Some countries have already passedsome laws to help protect sharks The United States, for example, has passed lawsthat limit the number of sharks that people can kill or food or for sport So eventhough some people like to hunt sharks, we do need protect them
