Argumentative Essay: Should Sharks Be Conserved?

I believe sharks should be conserved because it’s their environment that we are only guests in, shark attacks rarely happen and sharks make mistakes.

Firstly when we enter the water we know the risk we are taking after all it is the shark’s habitat and we are the intruders, they have lived in the ocean for millions of years and deserve respect and to be protected, since there has been a decline in great white sharks numbers.

Other things you are more likely to die from are being struck by lightning, bee sting, drowning in your own bath tube, car crash, coconuts (kill around 150 people annually), mosquitoes, champagne corks (kill almost 24 people annually), choking on your own food, horses, hippos, smoking (12,000), skin cancer and vending machines- the list goes on.
