Sharks

[Beanflicker]

Saw the footage this past morning of that 20 footer off that coast of yours. A pregnant female.

But to the question, I think its amazing that it does not happen daily. These animals are apex predators to the extreme. Its incredible to me that when a few of us get taken that its some kind of shocker considering the beaches of this planet on any given day. You would almost think that feeding on us would almost be instinctive and passed on like seals. Same kind of dinner bell but pretty much 365 days of the year. Perhaps we simply taste bad and that too has been passed on


Now add the fact that about 75% of their living quarters has been fished out. Its surprising they dont just kill us out of spite.

20 feet, Jesus...

Someone caught an 18 foot tiger shark off of Australia. Imagine sharing the fucking water with this cunt.

People who call for a cull on sharks should themselves be culled, with maximum prejudice.

Sharks have already been regularly culled by ignorant savages who eat their fins, and waste the rest of the fish. Most shark species are now endangered.

I was a working scuba Divemaster in Egypt for a few years, and there is nothing like seeing and admiring a shark in its natural domain. Scuba diving is like a cheap and unregulated safari, and we need life in the oceans to survive ourselves.

The actual number of shark attacks' is tiny, more people get attacked by their pet dogs, but there is always a disproportionate media firestorm.

The fact is that we are not sharks' natural prey, most 'attacks' are when a shark is making an exploratory bite to see if we are food because we look like seals or injured prey thrashing around on the surface. If you read the reports properly, nobody has been wholly eaten by a shark (only injured, albeit sometimes fatally). Nobody would ever survive a proper shark attack if one of the Big Five really wanted to eat them. Victims usually suffer a single bite, and the shark swims off because they don't like the taste and have now ascertained that the human is not food.

Incidentally, the Big Five - Great White, Tiger Shark, Mako, Oceanic Whitetip and Bull Shark - are the 'potential man eaters'.

The Big Five on land - rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo and elephant - are nothing to do with that. It shows our atavistic fear of sea predators!,
