Over that same period some 100 million sharks are killed annually by humans. Sharks are killed for their fins (for shark fin soup) at a most terrifying rate. In fact – for every human killed by a shark last year (12) we kill that many every four seconds! Take a look at this infographic below which shows you this in graphic format. It’s actually pretty scary.
