Do not hold your breath. Discovery Channel's Shark Week is sensationalist trolling.
Sharks are more in danger of being finned than humans are in danger of being bitten.
I exhaled a long time ago. A network I once thought of as excellent, educational, and informative where I actually "Discovered" something new is now a network that has naked people running around affraid while fixing cars, drunk off their moonshine, diving for gold in... Alaska. Perhaps they should just go for broke and put all of their concepts together in one show, filmed in... Alaska of course.
As for shark finning, I think humans have really made the turn in the first world. Asia is still obviously a big problem, but we're headed in the right direction. In fact, I can speak from experience here in Florida that sharks are thriving, maybe too much. Some days it's impossible to fish with out your catch being nailed by a shark. We've had days we just quit because we were basically just feeding sharks. That could also explain why we're seeing so many more bites this year. Especially on the east coast. Of course many argue there's more people in the water, but who's keeping track. Is it that much more than just a few years ago? This is all speculation of course.
