Best Answer

because people want to kill them for shark soup and are hunting them down
Sharks became endangered because of humans hunting them down and killing them, for their fins. As one shark fin can be sold for up to $100.00! They use the fins in shark fin soup and the fins add no flavour to the soup and only texture! They die a cruel death. Although some people do it for sport!!

There are hundreds of species of sharks. Not all are endangered, so it depends on what type of shark you are referring to.
Sharks are endangered because they are hunted and fished for by people. people hunt sharks for their teeth and skin.
