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).
Great read! Haven’t had a laugh like this in a while. Fucking idiot!

Oh yeah this Guy is gonna get beat up. Watch him play the transphobic/hate crime card when it’ll happen
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.
In an attempt to curb the spiralling and lucrative kidnapping industry, a law was enacted in 2022 making it a crime to make ransom payments. It carries a jail sentence of at least 15 years, however no-one has ever been arrested on those charges.>
Ah yes! The good old turn the victims of a crime into criminals to stop the other criminals from perpetrating the crime. Seems to me like a winning solution!
“Earlier this month Victorian police revealed the 26-year-old childcare worker had been charged with more than 70 offences relating to eight alleged victims, aged between five months and two years old.”
“Approximately 2,600 families with children who attended the centres were contacted, with 1,200 advised to undergo screening for sexually transmitted infections.”
This piece of trash deserves a slow and painful death in a rotted jail cell. I work with kids, and I would completely loose it if I learnt that one of my colleagues had done anything remotely sexually inappropriate. I just don’t understand how could they get away with it for so long! I just want to yell, and cry. I can’t imagine what all those parents are going through right now…
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!
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!
