Films like Jaws has portrayed humans as innocent victims of monster sharks
But who are the real monsters
Every year
10 to 12 people killed by sharks
and
100 million sharks killed by humans
Their survived for millions of years and now thanks to humans may cease to exist
Only 10% of all large fish left in global ocean
90 % all large fish including tuna, marlin, swordfish, sharks, cod are gone
5 million fish killed every minute by fishing industry
If fishing rates continue, world's fisheries will collapse by 2048 https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/critical-issues-overfishing

This leaked Chevron memo is infuriating.
The company spent $2 billion on lawyers to evade the Ecuador pollution liability, but in 1980 refused to spend a paltry $4m to fix its toxic waste pits because it wasn't "economical".
Chevron played God with Indigenous peoples.
