Shark Attack - your thoughts?

Oh & in reference to [TW]Fox's reply. A lot of animals can be considered a risk & can kill. By that token should be kill everything that is a risk?

Dogs can kill, yes even pets as they have natural instincts. Should we kill all dogs 'cos they're a risk to us?

What a bizarre post. Nobody is killing all sharks, just one specific shark so your analogy is worthless.

If a dog kills somebody it is usually put down as well.

The reason they do it is becauase ordinarily sharks do not attack humans and pose no risk. Therefore one that has decided that perhaps it will attack people remains a risk.


You swim about 500yds off the gulf of mexico(florida) and see how many sharks bite you and then you bleed to death.
 
It is our natural territory as well.

It isn't though, you don't have fins, or gills. We're land mammals, the ocean is about as far away from our natural territory as it's possible to get.

Because they only eat the fin? Or because of shark population.

Both, it's wasteful and most species are endangered.

If its the former, most people in England only eat "prime" cuts of meat.

That isn't really true, what isn't sold as a whole cut is usually used in things like pies or reformed into sandwich meat, burgers etc. Anything we don't eat ourselves then gets used in pet food, we waste very little.
 
I think in the end of the day, it's a fish.

Except it's not a fish...

I think they will have a hard time finding the exact shark, and hopefully won't just find any old shark and claim it to be the one they are looking for.
 
So tell me how many days have you spent living underwater so far in your life?

You need to live in something to be natural territory how odd.
We are perfectly capable of swimming in the sea, we used to need it for fishing. So yes it most cleanly is our natural territory as is most of the planet. Which is one way we are different to most other living creatures.

There have been 5 shark related deaths off the Florida Coast in the Gulf of Mexico since 1882.

Which pretty much supports what I was saying. Ordinarily, sharks do not attack humans.

So would you define the moon as natural territory then? We are perfectly capable of going there but you can't survive there alone, just like you won't survive in the sea alone. I'd say your view is odd.

No.
We have been swimming since the dawn of time, it most certainly is part of our natural territory. It is and always has been one of our biggest food supplies.

Just be ause it's not habitual (well actually some societies do) doesn't mean it's not part of our territory.
 
Well i don't agree with that point of view at all so i'll leave it there

Leave it if you want, but how can you not agree. It's like saying a river or a side of a mountain isn't part of our territory as its not habitable.

Why would you not include our hunting grounds as our territory.

lol ?


I think humans are destroying this planet and I also think humans have a bigger instinct to attack and do harm then any other animal out there.

Next thing we're going to start killing tigers and other mammals because they attacked someone who was in a jungle... oh wait.

It's common sense really, the guy decided to go swim in shark infested water, probably with the intent to hunt them for sport, he gets bit, he dies, big whoop, it should be a lesson to prevent people from doing it, you shouldn't go after the shark for it, and how the hell are they going to know which shark did it without capturing it and killing it to analyse it's stomach. This whole thing is really blown out of proportion and it only makes it worse that it's a endangered species. Don't bring the argument of putting down a dog because it's also wrong, you choose to try to domesticate the dog, don't complain if you get bit in the process also there are millions of dogs out there and they are in no danger of extinction, which is not the same for sharks.

Because we don't need to hunt, this isn't 500 pre B.C any more. There are farms and designated fishing companies to attend to our needs. Anyone who goes into the jungle with a shotgun or into the ocean with a spear is doing it out of sport, not because he needs to hunt for food.

I suppose you think the Japanese overfishing their ocean and even coming over to the Mediterranean because they are too lazy to create fish farms or to start eating meat/eggs like we do is right as well... since it's human hunting grounds.
