3’x 2’x 1’

Did you know that roughly 73 million sharks are killed every year just for their fins?

- 64% say they would prefer sharks to not exist

- 46% say sharks are more terrifying than spiders, snakes, and mice combined.

- Four times as many people wrongly think that sharks are more deadly than toasters and cows

The term “shark” tends to carry a lot of stigma, our perception is warped based off false truths.

- 86% say the term “mental illness” carries a stigma

- 33% say people with mental health disorders scare them

- 63% say suicide is a selfish act

Stigmas are in our communities and in our society, when you start putting negative labels on groups of people/ animals our perception becomes blurred with false truths.
