Hypothetically yes, they can drown. However at most beaches shark nets are closely monitored by local officials who do their best to save any creature caught in the nets. Shark nets are a mere precaution meaning they won't necessarily stop a shark from entering a beach but research shows that they are effective.

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.

Most sharks are getting killed because in China, Japan, and other Asian countries, they cut off their fin (all over the world this happens) and throw them back in the water. Then, some times they import them from North and South American countries.

How are humans endangering sharks?

Sharks are primarily threatened because shark fin is a delicacy in Asia. In fact, it is even illegal in many cases for them to hunt sharks, but they do it anyway. Sharks are also caught accidentally in fishing nets (along with many other threatened species, which is why I recommend line caught fish), and they sometimes get entangled in nets meant to keep recreational waters by the beach free of sharks.

Do sharks die why?

Too many fishers are leaving nets in the ocean and sharks get caught in them and to survive sharks must keep swimming to force the seawater through their gills to separate water from oxygen. Also cutting off shark fins to make shark fin soup kills them.

Are people scared of sharks?

Being scared of Sharks is quite common - and quite pointless. Many beaches and resorts have strung out shark nets to keep the visitors feeling safe. Unfortunately a considerable number of harmless marine animals like dolphins and turtles end up dieing in the nets despite the very, very, very low risk of a shark attack anyway.
