#  ¿Tiburones en peligro?

| **¿Tiburones en peligro?**   de **[Toronto Vegetarian Association](http://www.veg.on.ca/)**El tiburón, una de las criaturas más temidas de la tierra está siendo despiadadamente cazado para satisfacer las demandas del apetito humano. Un informe del Centro para la Conservación Marina de los Estados Unidos, un grupo de apoyo al medio ambiente, informó que: “Se ha hecho muy poco esfuerzo para recopilar información básica, como el número de tiburones que están siendo cazados y descartados”.  Las estadísticas de la cantidad de peces traídos a la orilla son poco precisas, pero se estima que el total va de unas 200.000 toneladas en 1947 a más de 725.000 toneladas en 1994. Mientras tanto, algunos grupos de conservación del medio ambiente advierten que la peculiaridad del apetito humano y de las economías del mercado de peces parecen estar conspirando contra los tiburones: los que crecen lentamente, tienden a tener larga vida, extendida gestación y una tasa baja de nacimientos, lo que los hace especialmente vulnerables a los mecanismos de depredación.  ![](http://www.veg.ca/newsletr/mayjun97/mayjunpix/shark.gif)  Artículo y fotografía adaptados de la edición del 15 de mayo de 1997 de *The Globe & Mail*, por John H. Cushman Jr., corresponsal en Washigton del periódico *The New York Times*, que afirma que los tiburones están siendo cazados en cifras sin precedentes.  *De la edición mayo/junio de 1997 de Lifelines.*  | \| Traducido por Oriana Vásquez \| \|---\|---\|  A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly.  Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value.  - Hits: 956    ###  Vegan Recipes   - [![VEGAN PAPAYA SALAD](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/mon%2067a_6689c42d37609237e574d70d5897ddb7.jpg "VEGAN PAPAYA SALAD")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-papaya-salad.html "VEGAN PAPAYA SALAD")           ####  [VEGAN PAPAYA SALAD](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-papaya-salad.html "VEGAN PAPAYA SALAD")            [Vietnam](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/vietnam.html) [salads](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/salads.html) -
