Oceans are undoubtedly one of the biggest tourist attractions worldwide. Although its natural beauty puts surfers, divers and swimmers under its spell, oceans also have some dangers lurking in their depths. One of those dangers is the possibility of a shark attack. In fact, even some rivers are home to a particularly aggressive type of shark: The bull shark. Although shark attacks on humans are rare, they do happen approximately 56 times a year, worldwide.

In fact, 100 millions sharks are slaughtered every year as they fall victim to human hands. Shark fins are used for a culinary delicacy that is popular in Asia: The shark fin soup. Once the fin is removed, the shark is sometimes thrown back into the water while still alive to die a painful death.
