For a series of reasons such as, fear, mis-understanding, and the delicacy known as "Shark Fin Soup". (Shark's fins are obviously used for this.)

Sharks are being poached mainly for their fins, which are highly valued in some cultures for making shark fin soup. Other parts of the shark, such as the liver and skin, are also sought after for various products. Overfishing and illegal fishing practices have led to the decline of many shark species.
