I am absolutely and completely in love with sharks...! As a diver they rank among my favorite underwater encounters; in fact I like them even more than dolphins (sorry, Flipper). There is just something about them and a perfect world for me would include seeing them on every dive I do. Unfortunately this is not the case. Sharks are being methodically decimated and their fins harvested on a massive scale. Recently CITES has made some changes (read the article by Damian Carrington here) which hopefully will protect these wonderful majestic animals somewhat...
In order to call attention to the global slaughter of sharks and mantas a video was put out by a shark conservation charity but it was banned from television: "...Sadly the 45 second advert has been deemed too graphic and distressing to be shown on TV." (Quote from indepths.org The Diving Community Resource)
Take a look at the website of the Bite-Back Shark and Marine Conservation Charity and share it with your friends. If you wish you can view the banned video. Graphic, yes. But the truth does not always involve rose petals and double rainbows.
