Bite Back!: Cristina



Da Da, Da Da, DADADADADA! SHARK! Ok let's cut the Jaws vision, calm down and relax! Sharks are not as evil and scary as we all think. Actually, more vending machines kill peope a year than sharks do. It's crazy right! The sad thing is the demand for shark meat is so high that sharks are being hunted and slaughtered to the brink of extinction. And trust me, I know what you are thinking! You're thinking "Why sharks? Who cares?". I know I was the same before watching the documentary "Sharkwater". I now view the ferocious shark as a vulnerable and vital member of our ecosystem. See here's how it goes: if the sharks become extinct than the fish over populate, if the fish overpopulate they will eat all the phytoplankton and 85% percent of the world's oxygen comes from phytoplankton. So if all the phytoplankton disappears we humans can say "bye-bye"! So listen, all it takes is 89 minutes, one movie night with the family. Get in formed and BITE BACK!

*Update: This is currently the charity we will be raising money for on May 14th at the El Mocambo! If your in the area swing by!
