There is a bigger market than you think. Shark meat is part of Asian, Caribbean, Latino, and Hawaiian food culture. You can find dozens of different shark products in grocery store, and that’s not including pet food.
It can hide under different names like white fish or ocean fish.
So I would guess from high hundreds of thousand to low millions.
Dug deeper, it is estimated around 300 to 500 thousands from shark fisheries. But, 2.5 to 5 million from bycatch…
Their is also recreational fishing. Which is responsible for 100 to 150 thousands shark killings per year.
So that’s a comfortable 3 to 5 million a year in the US alone…
And coincidentally, there is some scandal happening now about critically endangered shark meat sold under false labels.

This comment sent me into a little rabbit hole.
In the US alone, humans kill, on average, 1 cow per second (over 33 million a year). That is including calves.
edit: In the US alone, humans kill, on average 1 shark per 10 seconds (over 3 million a year).

Oooh such a beautiful void. Looks like lots of love and mischief ;P
That just sounds like a ploty to get more pics !

Edit: You can actually see my reflection in his left eye in both pics.
He once tried to rule the streets, but came back home when he couldn’t handle it anymore. So now he’s a lil’ house gangsta
It’s a vanity collar made for cats. It is actually lighter than the “normal” collar he had before.
Hey thanks for worrying for my boy. The collar is very loose, and he knows how to get out of it and can very easily. But he never goes outside since his brother was killed by a fox.
Lol that’s just my boy. Took the picture with my phone camera that’s it.


Yeah so true!! I installed it, and it launched an attack to overheat and destroy my CPU. Thankfully I reacted quick enough, and unplugged my computer quickly. However when I turned it back on, all my files were gone. It was cryptomining without my consent. Absolutely crazy!
It has never been done in my family, and it would feel very weird to me to have a son with my name. I don’t think my wife would like it very much either.
I do think it’s a pretty cool tradition though.
Watched a good ten minutes of Incubus. I speak a couple Latin and Germanic languages, and it sounded like a weird mix of European languages. Could definitively understand some of it.
It’s in Esperanto!
