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.
