SHARK HUNTING
Sharks, aside from being incredible animals, are a vital part of the ocean's ecosystem. Many species of sharks are at the top of the food chain, and therefore control how all other animals exist in the ocean. Sharks prevent their prey from over-grazing and balance the entire ecosystem. Sharks are being hunted and killed faster than they can recover their population for reasons as trivial as a shark tooth necklace or shark fin soup. The practice of shark hunting is a gross misuse of the power people have over animals and really, really pisses me off.
To portray this in an art piece, I have an image in my head of a gleaming and majestic great white swimming alone in water tainted with blood and surrounded by fishhooks with the bottom of a boat at the type. And maybe a net in the water. I would do this with either oil pastel or watercolor pencils.
