It was close enough that we could see the commotion but far enough that our beach was not evacuated, it wasnt until that night that we learned what happen on the news. That is what got me into reading about shark attacks, this is a very sad and unfortunate case. She was so young and beautiful but we must all remember that we are the ones entering their habitats at our own risk.

My secret; I dont jump into the sharks backyard. I`ll never understand you people, just dont jump into the ocean and you`ll have no shark problems. It`s just annoying, people jump in and sharks eat them. And then everyone starts making noise, omg a shark, this is terrible, bla bla bla!. They jumped into the sharks backyard, they were swiming around in the sharks foodbowl. When you walk head first into a beartrap, and you know it`s a beartrap, then you deserve everything you get.

I understand the concern about its overuse and I do agree that the media should be more responsible, however, whatever phrase the media uses will have no impact on the overall narrative they employ when it comes to shark attacks. If we are asking them to change, the focus needs to be on the narrative, not just a single phrase.<br /><br />Sharks don't bite humans out of anti-human malevolence or some kind of premeditated spite, it's just sharks being sharks and sometimes, sharks see humans as a legitimate source of food, not because we are humans but by virtue of us being in their natural habitat.<br /><br />I'm not saying these attacks were predatory, we can never know for certain, but the incidents with multiple bites do illustrate a degree of determination on the shark's part and that is not at all in keeping with the notion of "mistaken identity."OfficetoOceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994215418331139925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024089322275291847.post-63924387805574799692015-07-03T01:18:30.519+01:002015-07-03T01:18:30.519+01:00Great report and you touched in a lot of important...Great report and you touched in a lot of important points.

I...Good analysis, but I am a little more practical. I apologize if someone doesnt like my opinion. <br /><br />The number of shark attacks around the world is large. We come across news of people being attacked all the time. many of which are killed. I dont understand people who try to protect these animals and want to sell them as "peaceful and friendly". Give me a break! It is like the people who want to make pittbulls look like kind dogs. The only thing they forget is that when a pittbull decides to strike it causes too much damage. Like sharks. That is enough reason, to me, to bane pittbulls alone! The statistic should be zero, and that is a good statistic. <br /><br />Man should slaughter sharks in regions like these in recife and others where these animals that come near the beaches where we enjoy leisure (yes, i dont care about their habitat, but i do care about our leisure - sorry), so the sharks know this is not a safe area for them. I dont have much care about sharks, I care about our lives. The people. animals can come last, anytime.<br /><br />And dont worry about extinction, Darwin would explain it.as long as we are in the top of the piramid, and we should, that is fine. Also, there are enough research centers to keep the number of species alive so we can control their population and make useful progress with medicine and other benefits we can take from them. which is what they really serve for.<br /> <br />Bottom line to me is. They shouldnt be attacking and/or killing humans. We need to minimize these high rates we see, by any means. If that means killing their population in certain areas, so do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
