The sharks are often targeted by poachers, as they are used for several expensive dishes, including the Chinese shark fin soup. According to Bite-Back charity, which opposes the over-fishing, 73,000,000 sharks are slaughtered for their fins every year – which makes it 200,000 sharks a day or two of them every second.

Dozens of beheaded baby sharks stocked in a pile were discovered last weekend on a beach in Cape Town, South Africa.

According to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), they were called by police officers who had found the severed bodies Stranfontein. City of Cape Town's Safety and Security spokesperson Wayne Dyason later stated that the fishes were identified as a deepwater shark species.
