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.

What is the sharks natural enemy?
Other sharks. More than anything, humans are the number one killer of sharks. People kill millions and millions of sharks every year. It has recently been discovered that the Killer whale is a hunter and efficient killer of the great white whale. Probably the most efficient killer of great whites, including man. Scientists discovered that killer whales will take advantage of the fact that sharks are paralized when flipped on their backs. A killer whale drives into the shark, grabs it behind the head and flips it over and holds it until the shark is immobilized and then the pod will feast on the shark and eat the shark and even removes the liver and enjoys it as a group. See recent program on Nat'l Geo. channel
Has anyone ever kiled an alligator?
It legal to kill sharks, but this depends on the species and location.Some species are endangered and some areas(eg national marine areas) are protected.Other than that if you catch it you can kill it.Just remember that sharks are very important to the food chain. Also they are being over harvested in many areas and are close to extinction. Not to mention sharks are not even a threat to humans. Only 5 humans die each year by shark attack, whereas every year humans kill about 2 000 000 sharks. Compare that to starvation: 1 million people die by starvation each year. Sharks also typically don't attack humans. They fear US not the other way around. They are very picky eaters and will only eat seals and fish (unless they are starving but this is unlikely as where sharks live fish are plentiful)It is highly recommended to not kill sharks.
