It's BIG SLAMMUUUUUU from the 90's Show Street Sharks.

Big Slammu is a whale shark. Why he has teeth and a totally not whale shark face on the show... I really have no idea. I wanted to just do him like a Leopard Shark, but my friend was like OMFG NO DO HIM AS WHALE SHARK WILL LOOK FUNNY LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

And so, I did.

Here is... WHALE SHARK FOR REAL SHAMMU

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

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.
