I thought the oceanic ecosystem is under attack, as in out of balance, due to the mass killing of sharks for their fins.That doesn't help. There are several instances (wolves in Yellowstone is another) that show when top predators are eliminated or substantially reduced, entire ecosystems are altered.

And the sharks can't reproduce fast enough to keep up. I think it's in the far east where it is rampant......

I agree with you 100% here. Though I think farmers have a right to defend their livestock, completely eliminating a species is not good at all.
