No. Absolutely not. It's not the sharks fault.
Absolutely not. That's like someone going into a lion's den, getting killed, and then everyone getting pissed and killing a bunch of lions.
Sharks are an apex predator and absolutely vital to the ocean fisheries. We should be working harder to ensure that fewer are killed, and not even contemplating killing more. Personally, I think fishermen who deliberately kill sharks should be punished, since they damage the ocean fishery for everyone.
You might be interested in this article. Some people in Hong Kong have gotten together to vow to reduce their red envelope gift by 30% if the people getting married serve sharkfin soup.Sharks have far more to fear from humans than we do from sharks, sadly. In this part of the world, shark fin soup if a popular dish.
Nice! When's dinner, bro?Speaking of sharks, looky what I pulled in the other day. Mmmmm... shark steak.
in light of a man being killed by a shark and the subsequent hunt for the shark, do you think that, if they manage to find this one shark out of many, this shark should be killed, and do you think sharks should be killed if they attack?
Shark attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaEven considering only people who go to beaches, a person's chance of getting attacked by a shark is 1 in 11.5 million, and a person's chance of getting killed by a shark is less than 1 in 264.1 million. The annual number of people who drown is 3,306, whereas the annual number of shark fatalities is 1.
I was about to post "Well, duh, of course you kill the shark if you can," but I read the replies first... ho-ley COW.
You don't let any animal that attacks a human {unprovoked} live. Period. I grew up with that rule, as a kid on a farm. Animal attacks a man, it dies.
The sole exceptions would be if the animal was unduly provoked, or if it attacked someone who needed attacking, like a dog biting a tresspasser.
Other than that, you put them down.
Tigers, lions, puma, wolves, coyotes...if it attacks humans, it dies. Why? Because any animal that attacks humans once may do so again.
So there's no proof of sharks being serial human-biters? I don't care. They might be serial humanivores, that's enough to me. Bite a human, get killed.
Why? Because we're the *********ing dominant species on the planet, and everybody else ****ing gets out the way when we come through, that's why.
The reason you put down land animals is becuase they can become a threat to people.
Sharks are never a threat to people. People are a threat to themselves. By going in the water and impersonating a seal 9which is what a surfer is to a shark) we are provoking them.
We may be dominant on land, but in the water we're snacks.

Dude. If you walk into a den of coyotes and get slaughtered, no one is going to head out and kill a bunch of coyotes. That would be ****ing retarded. And that's exactly what you're doing when you go into the ocean.
Secondly, the other reason hunting down the "killer animal" is silly is because you're going to end up killing dozens upon dozens of the species and never even know if you actually killed the single one that attacked anyway. So again, it is wrong and it solves absolutely nothing. All it does is harm.
Thirdly, it's a myth that once a wild animal has killed a human (for any reason) that they're just suddenly going to continue on some human killing spree.
That is true to some degree. The shark is doing only what nature programmed it to do. It is hardwired that way and does so without malice. That being said, I must confess, even at the expense of my sportsmanship credibility, when I land a shark, it never makes it back into the water alive (or to a point that it will survive.) I try to kill them all. With malice. I'm just hardwired that way. I know, I know. I'm a naughty boy. Don't care. Screw sharks and jellyfish.

It appears that humans don't taste good to sharks, so I wonder if it is actually less likely that a shark who has bitten a human would try to bite one again.Thirdly, it's a myth that once a wild animal has killed a human (for any reason) that they're just suddenly going to continue on some human killing spree.
