Stop airing shark attack videos on Shark Week

Discovery channel's Shark Week airs episodes of shark attacks and shark survivors. By airing these videos, they are only perpetuating the myth that sharks are blood-thirsty man-eaters. Sharks are highly intelligent creatures that people need to respect and protect. Shark finning is a growing problem, shark fining kills about 80 million sharks each year (there are about 4 or 5 people a year that are killed by sharks. You're statistically more likely to be killed by a soda machine). Due to people's fear of sharks, there are very few laws protecting sharks. Help tell Discovery that they have the social and environmental responsibility to sharks!
are concerned with the episodes that you air on Shark Week. By airing shark attack and shark survivor videos, you are only perpetuating the myth that sharks are extremely dangerous. Because of this shark of sharks, there are very few laws protecting them. Please consider changing your programs.
