Delegates to a United Nations confernce on endangered species voted down three of four proposals to protect sharks on Tuesday, handing another victory to Japan, China and countries opposed to the involvement of the international authorities in regulation of ocean fish.

This is terrible that the sharks are not going to be protected. People are killing more sharks than sharks kill humans. More than 400 million sharks are killed yearly by humans. Sharks need to be protected, and the Chinese are too greedy.
