The competitors say they are enjoying a fun and legal sport, the impact on the overall shark population is very small, and most of the sharks caught are returned to the ocean. Dave Johnson, who is from Kennebunkport, Maine, said no one ever comes close to the limit set by the government of killing one shark per day during the three month season.
“I enjoy watching these animals, but I also enjoy catching and releasing(释放)them, and very rarely killing them and eating them,”he said. “If I thought killing one shark was endangering(危及)the species and contributing to their decline I’d stop doing it tomorrow.”
That is exactly what marine biologists like Luke Tipple want to happen. “I believe that they should just stop it. In fact, we don’t need to be targeting, in any way, any of these threatened populations,” he said. Up to 73 million sharks are killed annually, and many species are at risk of extinction(灭绝).
