Shark Water- How Biased Is It

First off, I would like to say that the movie shark water is a very entertaining and informative movie that I believe holds a lot of potential with regards to improving the situation on the hunting of sharks. I personally believe it is great that this film allows for many people to see the tradgedy that is occuring with these remarkable fish, especially when it comes to informing the public about wasteful issue such as shark finning. On the other hand I think that a couple ill advised cheap shots were put into this video that were un- called for. One such thing was the fact that the seal hunt issue was quickly shown. The reason that this was such an inappropriate forum for this issue to be displayed is that they are not really related at all. The people clubbing seals are doing it legally as opposed to shark finning which is done illegally in many places, as well the seal hunt is a much more humane practice as the seals die relatively quickly as opposed to the shark hunt which occurs very slow and painfully for sharks as they are caught by long lines as well as their fins are cut off and they are thrown back into the ocean to slowly die. As well the seal hunt so far is a sustainable practice as the population numbers are so high and are likely not to dwindle much as opposed to sharks which have declined by about 90 % of their former number. These two issues are direct opposites and I believe that Rob Stewert should not have included it in his film. Another thing that I disagree with, was with regards to how the fishermen were portrayed. They were portrayed as evil and law breakers when in reality they are just poor people trying to make a living any way they can. I believe that it would have been much more effective for the Sea Sheppard and Stewart to go to the source of the problem (China ands its surrounding areas) to bring awareness to the people about how harmful things such as shark fin soup really are. Overall, I believe this film was great and should help very much with this issue; however I believe Mr. Stewart should have been more careful with how he portrays certain things as well as certain people.
