Stop Killing Sharks For Trinkets!

The Issue

 

Shark populations are down by an estimated 80% worldwide, due largely to over-fishing. The shark souvenirs you are selling at your shop are by-products of the invasive commercial fishing industry, which in many countries is not regulated. Sharks play a vital role in Florida's ecosystem and should not be killed to make a few bucks. 

Selling dead baby sharks as memorabilia to tourists is contributing directly to the decimation of shark populations. Why would you want a floating shark corpse to remind people of their trip to Florida? 

Please stop selling dead sharks at your store.
