Should we continue to kill sharks?

from KYTOS Biology · host KYTOS

Around 273 million sharks are killed each year globally. They’re feared as the archetypal killing machine, and there’s profit to be made from shark-derived products; but they may be more economically and environmentally valuable alive than dead. This podcast will evaluate the psychological, economical, gastronomical, medical, ethical and ecological arguments for killing these creatures as opposed to protecting them, and in doing so, will aim to answer the question of whether: should we continue to kill sharks? (With thanks to Frankie R for conducting the research and providing the content for this podcast)
