Shark Attack - your thoughts?

[Domi]

I am sure this has already been stated but it is a known fact that animals including sharks that attack humans are much more likely to do so again , repeat offenders as it were.

Basically they get the taste for humans as prey, famously 5 people were attacked in 12 days in jersey in 1916. Ok this may not have been just 1 shark but considering how rare shark attacks are you can see this looks a bit strange.

The Killer whale Tilikum of sea world fame has 3 human kills an incredibly rare act for a killer whale, given the chance it will kill again.

A duck isn't the only bird that hunts in water.

If we run out of energy we can't hunt or gather food we die. Therefore land isn't are natural territory. Please really, your going to start such useless comparisons.

We last a lot longer on land without food and water than if we ran out of energy in the water

And its not a useless comparison, it proves a very telling point, we are not natural in the water.

So please, if you want to try a fob off an argument like this because you don't like it then explain why.

Miss quote.
Full stop and Separate line, now what does the rest of that line say. Oh wait yes that's right. The natural bit is about something totally different.

First you said babies can naturally swim, But then you agree that a baby will drown and cant swim....

Very true.

I don't even know what you're still whining about?

It's not telling at all, we are natural hunters in a hole host of environments, including water.
We don't survive long in sub zero temperatures, therefore it can't possibly be a natural hunting zone for us. Especially as unlike swimming we need clothes at a minimum and in reality fire as well.
Or we can't climb trees to gather fruit as we soon run out of energy fall of and die.

Sorry, but you havent provided one piece of evidence to suggest that we belong in the water.

Whats the sub zero temperatures got to do with this discussion?

If a human cant swim then it dies, simple as that.

 

[doofer]

Great argument, will read again.
Why not respond to the question presented.

Because you cannot comprehend anything. I sadly lack the skills and patience to explain simple things to someone so lacking in basic intelligence so that they can understand things without making them look ridiculously stupid and I'm not a cruel person, I really don't want to make you look stupid, you're actually doing a grand job of that yourself.

If we can't move we die.
Not one bit of evidence?
What you mean other than we've been hunting in the sea since humans have existed. Since we are adapted in a very general way to survive in most environments.
The fact we die, if we stop swimming is meaningless.
If we stop doing many things we die.

Why don't you try making me look stupid, rather than just mouthing off.

 

[doofer]

I can't compete with you there. You win, you make yourself look far more stupid than I ever could. Well done.

 

[asim18]

Ahaha...

Respiration and Nutrition. Two simple things humans cannot naturally do underwater.

 

[Glaucus]

So basically you have no relevant points and rather than adding something sensible, you just keep posting rubbish.

 

[Glaucus]

Ahaha...

Respiration and Nutrition. Two simple things humans cannot naturally do underwater.

Many animals that hunt in water can do neither of those, whilst under water. Hardly some winning argument is it. Or do other animals claim areas that are not their natural territory?
Crocodiles can neither breath or eat under water. They have to raise their head clean out of the water to eat.

Wrong.

You cant swim or tread water and stop moving on water you die.

As i said before (you probably missed it?) you can go about 3-5 days without water approximately so can last a lot longer on land without needing to move, you can also have someone bring you food or have supplies in arms reach.

This shows that land is a natural environment. Water is not.

 

[Glaucus]

I didn't miss it, length of survival means nothing. It's not an argument.

 

[Nvidiot]

It is. you really are clutching at straws trying to ignore relevant points as they disprove what you are saying.

The facts are,

Wes survive much longer on land in are natural environment than we do in water.

1) A diver needs breathing apparatus to breath under water.
2) Stop moving/cant swim means your dead in less than a few minutes in some circumstances.
3) A bird adapted for water use can both survive much/much longer on water and land than we can on water.

Why is it relevant? How does it stop us from hunting in the sea? Something we have been doing since humans have existed. We've been doing since then, because it is part of our natural territory.

Again many animals can not breath under water, so is the sea not their natural hunting grounds either? After all they'll die a lot faster in water than on land. It's a stupid argument.

 

[nikeair94]

Why don't we just catch it and move it to a zoo or something.

Crocodiles don't need a fishing boat and a rod.

 

[Glaucus]

Nor do we, early hunters used nothing but themselves.
You can catch plenty in the sea, as certain societies still do. Free diving for scallops and sea urchins.
Add a simple spear and you can catch plenty of fish. Nothing more than we used on land to hunt.
We evolved brains and a very generalised body. So we could adapt tools and our environment. Rather than having claws and a thick fur coat.

We need ships/boats do we not to hunt at sea? or do you mean walking out a few inches with a spear to get some small fish? which is a different thing altogether.

Not every bird (as I said and explained to you before) uses the sea

Free diving for scallops and sea urchins.
