Sharks attack an average of 75 people worldwide every year.Sharks kill an average of 5-8 people worldwide every year.Of the almost 500 different species of sharks, only three species are responsible for most attacks.Of those, close to 100 different species are endangered. Every year humans kill over 74,000 sharks for targeted shark-finning.If accidental bycatch during fishing is considered, humans kill at least 64 million sharks every year. Estimating bycatch is hard, so that number might actually be higher than 200 million sharks killed each year. -- source link
