Stop Shark Finning In The Galapagos / Ecuador

In one and a half hours, over 15,000 sharks get murdered because of shark finning. The Government allows people to fin sharks, merely because it makes them a lot of money and they use it in soup. When people fin sharks, the sharks sre still alive and breathing, they cut off the fins, and throw there helpless bloody bodys back in the water to endure a slow death. The sharks that are thrown back in the water die either of blood loss, suffocation, or because the sharks cant  defend themselves, they get eaten by other fish.

Shark finning is illeagle in not enough places, it is legal in the galapagos / ecuador. We need to help the sharks. They dont deserve to die.

People are always saying "oh, its ok for sharks to die, they are dangerous monsters". but truely, elephants and tigers are more monstrusly then sharks, in a year sharks kill approximatly 5 people, and most of the deaths are because of blood loss, sharks teath are not strong enough to tear flesh off of someone, they can only bite them and make then bleed. But elephants and tigers kill aproximatly 100 poeple each year but people dont fear them as much do they ? No, because most people have been told since they were kids that sharks are to be feared. Are sharks to be feared because they barely kill anyone compared to everything else. More poeple die of starvation in one year then from sharks in 10 years. You dont see many people trying to get rid of starvation as much as we do sharks ?

Why is that, people should be fed and they should be able to live happy nourished lives, poeple should focus on more important things then finning sharks. Time spent looking for sharks could be spent looking for way to help people. Sharks deserve to live just the same as people and if we focus on stopping it and makeing it illeagle to fin sharks and spend time on us people the world will be a better place for us and the sharks.

A lot of shark species are indangered from finning. Help make shark finning illeagle. One signature at a time, and we can make the world of a difference.
Dear Goverment of the Galapagos / Ecuador,

We the undersigned do not belive in the legalness of finning sharks.
Your islands kill 15,000 sharks in one and half hours. While it is illeagle past a certain part of the ocean, your people still poach sharks and fin them.

We think you should very much concider makeing shark finning illeagal, there are millions of other ways to make money. You dont have to kill innocent animals. Also, think of this. While putting lines with bait out for miles and miles is illeagal, you still do it, even though you might only want a certain species, you catch everything else that swims through there, say that today you are not shark finning, but you are fishing for other fisha nd you put the line out, you will catch up to 100 sharks and then just kill them because they cant move and are caught in hooks and cant breath or get oxygene, and you just leave them in the water dead.

Im hoping you will take all this into concideration and make it illeagal, thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
