Shark Finning
By: Jake (9 years old)
I hate shark
finning. An estimated 70 million sharks are killed each year and over a third
are killed just for their fins. People
use their fins for soup.
First, if we keep
killing the sharks they will all be gone. Killing the sharks stops the immune
system of the ocean. Sick fish will not be eaten and they will pollute the
ocean.
Second, it is
cruel to the sharks. Fishermen just cut
off their fins and throw them back in the water and leave them to drown. Stop killing the sharks!

Thank you for sharing this cause. I live in California and had never heard of this tragic practice. Keep using your voice through your writing, it will make powerful changes.
Great paper Jake - I was really sad to see fishermen with strings full of shark fins. I'm so glad you're letting people know how terrible this is!
Jake, thanks for bringing this issue to our attention! Being from Iowa in the United States, we don't have the opportunity to hear much about shark issues. I am excited to read more of your blog entries throughout your experence. Please keep writing! If you have a chance, we would love to have you visit our blogs at http://kidblog.org/ClassroomConnections/ and leave a comment or two. I teach 5th grade in Iowa.
good job Jake, stay on course. Papa
