I found this little article on National Geographic's website about a baby cyclops shark that was found in Mexico. The shark hadn't yet been born when it's mother was caught(legally) and cut open, there were also 9 other normal sharks that had yet to be born. Initially I thought the images of the shark were really cool but then after finding out how it had been caught feel like maybe the fisherman or scientists shouldn't have killed 10 sharks in all just for some research on 1 shark...seems like a waist of sharks. To me this story started off with such great potential but then fell flat and made me feel bad for sharks. I think they need to be better protected especially in japan where they are out of control with shark killing for soup. There is so much about sharks that we don't really know and yet we are still killing them off.
This link is for a good cause in saving ocean/marine life. I appreciate their focus on sharks and ocean trash, now they just need to get some more exposure.
