Sharks are sliced with meat and fins in Indonesia
Considered one of sharks' paradise, Indonesia is now becoming the graveyard of this predator .
According to marine animal protection organizations around the world, Indonesia is a Southeast Asian country that possesses an endemic coastline suitable for the proliferation and development of many sharks.
But the country owns a bloody shark fin mining industry, which causes a large number of sharks to be killed every year just for fins.
With an average price in the world for 1kg of shark fins of up to 1,300 USD and a price of 150 USD of fish soup, sharks have become a great profit for many fishermen in Indonesia.
An Indonesian study has shown that sharks are increasingly hunted at dizzying rates in the last few years.
In a meeting on the trade of endangered animals in Jakarta warnings that with such a speed of shark fishing. The number of sharks will not be able to promptly recover in this island nation.
According to Indonesian fishermen, they hunt sharks for meat, liver oil, cartilage and especially fins.
However, in fact, the natural environmentalists in Indonesia have repeatedly witnessed the image of fat humans after being cut off the fins were thrown back into the sea.
The image of a specialized javelin is used by Indonesian fishermen to slaughter sharks.
Sharks after being caught from the sea will be processed immediately after ashore and the first is that their fins will be cut off.
Sharks are exploited right at the harbor in Indonesia.
