"The threat to ocean-going sharks is more severe than previously thought, according to conservation experts.

Scientists with the World Conservation Union, which publishes the Red Lists of Threatened Species, have upgraded the "threat" category of several sharks.

Those now considered "vulnerable to extinction" include the shortfin mako, a favourite of recreational fishermen, and the long-tailed thresher shark.

Scientists say over-fishing is a principal reason for the decline."

That sucks!!! You hate to hear anything like that no matter what kind of animal, mammal etc.! Everything on this Earth has its own place and helps somewhere along the foodchain to ensure the survival of everything living!!!!
Once again MAN has altered this as he has in the past and will, unfortunately, again in the future!
