Ban Shark Nets

The issue

In shark threatened waters (and sometimes even those that are not) they are not the government put up shark nets to trap sharks swimming in like mice in a mousetrap. if this wasn't cruel enough only a fraction of the animals these nets catch are sharks. they catch many loved creatures, often under pretection, these animals include, but are not limited to; dolphins, turtles and many endangered fish. This has to stop, ban the shark net.
