Why do people kill sharks?

In my opinion...it is mostly due to unfounded/irrational fear and ignorance. There are a great number that are killed "accidentally" by fishing nets and shark nets that are supposed to keep sharks away, but often do the opposite. Some are killed for meat (i.e. "shark steaks). There is also the deplorable act of "finning" for the lucrative, unsustainable, and environmentally destructive business of shark fin soup.
