...cost is to the environment, according to WildAid, a San Francisco-based environmental foundation. WildAid says the oceans' ecosystem is under threat from the annual slaughter of an estimated more than 50 million sharks, and the organization launched a print- and TV-ad campaign in mid-2001 that shows fishermen slicing fins off sharks and kicking them back into the sea to die.
