There is a bigger market than you think. Shark meat is part of Asian, Caribbean, Latino, and Hawaiian food culture. You can find dozens of different shark products in grocery store, and that’s not including pet food.
It can hide under different names like white fish or ocean fish.
So I would guess from high hundreds of thousand to low millions.
Dug deeper, it is estimated around 300 to 500 thousands from shark fisheries. But, 2.5 to 5 million from bycatch…
Their is also recreational fishing. Which is responsible for 100 to 150 thousands shark killings per year.
So that’s a comfortable 3 to 5 million a year in the US alone…
And coincidentally, there is some scandal happening now about critically endangered shark meat sold under false labels.

This comment sent me into a little rabbit hole.
In the US alone, humans kill, on average, 1 cow per second (over 33 million a year). That is including calves.
edit: In the US alone, humans kill, on average 1 shark per 10 seconds (over 3 million a year).
Well… That’s poor/broke adulting. When you’re born with a golden spoon in your ass, you’re whole house (read mansion) is run by what is called the help. You pay people to sort your shit out. Your kids are raised by nannies, and for the weekend you go to your seaside house on a semiprivate island in your private jet.


Great read! Haven’t had a laugh like this in a while. Fucking idiot!

Hoarding can be a trauma behavior. Their can be many more reasons for becoming a hoarder. There is also more than one way of hoarding. It is more a spectrum than a set standard behavior.


Oh yeah this Guy is gonna get beat up. Watch him play the transphobic/hate crime card when it’ll happen
Oooh such a beautiful void. Looks like lots of love and mischief ;P
That just sounds like a ploty to get more pics !

Edit: You can actually see my reflection in his left eye in both pics.
He once tried to rule the streets, but came back home when he couldn’t handle it anymore. So now he’s a lil’ house gangsta
It’s a vanity collar made for cats. It is actually lighter than the “normal” collar he had before.
Hey thanks for worrying for my boy. The collar is very loose, and he knows how to get out of it and can very easily. But he never goes outside since his brother was killed by a fox.
Lol that’s just my boy. Took the picture with my phone camera that’s it.


In an attempt to curb the spiralling and lucrative kidnapping industry, a law was enacted in 2022 making it a crime to make ransom payments. It carries a jail sentence of at least 15 years, however no-one has ever been arrested on those charges.>
Ah yes! The good old turn the victims of a crime into criminals to stop the other criminals from perpetrating the crime. Seems to me like a winning solution!


Yeah I call bullshit. Lived in a commune for 5 years where my friend grew up. There were more than a dozen putbulls growing up alongside loads of kids, babies, adults. In 25 years, there hasn’t been a single attack. It’s not because you don’t understand the breed, how to raise and train them that it’s the breed’s fault. Yes they have some aggresivity in them, but trained properly and they will be able to channel it through stimulating activities.
Watched a good ten minutes of Incubus. I speak a couple Latin and Germanic languages, and it sounded like a weird mix of European languages. Could definitively understand some of it.
It’s in Esperanto!
