This figure is bad enough, since it means that 273,973 sharks are killed on our planet each day. But this is not the end. Let us take the figures of SHARK TRUST, speaking of up to 73 million sharks falling prey to the targeted hunt for fins alone. This would be 73% of the complete figure. Unlikely, since although finning is a serious problem for the survival of sharks and experiencing a global boom, this ratio would be too high at the moment.
