#Repost from the Totally Awesome Vegan Conservationist at..... @oceanicpreservationsociety @download.ins --- They say all press is good press, but that doesn't really apply to sharks. An estimated two to three sharks are killed every second, but the media's demonization of these animals has caused a lot of the public to not care. Some people would even prefer a world without them, believing the ocean could be safer for them if sharks were gone. The reality is we all rely on a healthy ocean, no matter how far we live from it, and a healthy ocean depends on sharks.⁠ So, take action! Head to the link in our bio and support the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act (H.R 2811) that aims to prohibit the sale, purchase, and possession of shark fins in the USA.⁠ Artwork by the talented @chloe_darwinn_art!⁠ #OPSociety #RacingExtinction (at Mother Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPFx60FBDwg/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Repost from my great friend... @adrianalovessharks @download.ins --- Our petition against @publix is still ongoing! The @fda has shark meat earmarked as unsuitable for consumption due to toxicity levels and yet, it’s still sold in grocery stores! Please make smart choices for the environment and for your own physical health. And to Publix? Isn’t it time you stood with the environment as you’ve sworn to do? Posted @withregram • @oceanicpreservationsociety #FriendsDontLetFriendsEatSharkMeat!⁠ Eating shark isn't just bad for the ocean, it's really bad for your health. Tests on shark meat have presented dangerous neurotoxins and other contaminants. Skip the shark tacos and encourage restaurants in your area to take them off the menu!⁠ #SaveSharks @RacingExtinction #OPSociety https://www.instagram.com/p/CKEdV1BBkOS/?igshid=1lwep9ew40nio
