sharks. Another reason that people kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as the United States and Great
Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such as China, people use shark fins to make soup. Because
so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food.

Ms. Ta Thanh Hien – Hanoi University – Lize.vn – H&H English Centre


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