STOP SHARK FINNING! IT'S BECOME A SERIOUS ISSUE! THEY HAVE EVEN BEEN CAUGHT SLAUGHTERING ENDANGERED SPECIES AND EVEN WHALE AND BASKING SHARKS. IT IS BARBARIC AND DISGUSTING

I'm not really happy about how this turned out, but oh well.

It's Streex from the 90's Show Street Sharks.

Streex is a Tiger Shark. Tigers have a more slender head than Great Whites and such, and hence I tried to make it look more realistic than the cartoon ver. @_@

************************************************

Sharks have been suffering and have had their numbers decimated by humans. They are being barbarically finned, and thrown back into the water ALIVE to slowly die. This can take days for them to pass away.

- COCONUTS KILL MORE PEOPLE THAN SHARKS EVERY YEAR
- SODA POP MACHINES KILL MORE PEOPLE A YEAR THAN SHARKS

Elephants and Tigers kill 50 times more people a year than sharks. Yet there are programs and laws to guard Tigers and Elephants.

THERE ARE NONE FOR SHARKS.

The media has changed this beautiful animal into a monster. They are not. They are extremely intelligent and most species have NO REPORTS OF DEATHS in the entire human history.

People every day, swim with sharks. You would most likely, never ever walk with a pride of lions.

Sharks are very picky eaters, and in most cases when there is an "attack" it is an accident and they spit you out cause you are not their regular num nums.

It breaks my heart to see such animals so horrible misjudged and given such prejudice.

If you have free time on your hands, I IMPLORE you to sign petitions against the finning of sharks.

If you have even more time, please watch the documentary called Sharkwater. It has won 36 awards, and has increased shark awareness and educated people NOT TO BE AFRAID AND HATE these creatures.
