You go in the water you take your chances. As they report more and more of these attacks I start to care less and just take for granted that someone is going to be bitten somewhere at any time. Stay out of the water if you don't wanna get bitten.
elliotysAug 18, 2010
The funny thing is that we agree with you. We all know of the risk that goes with paddling out, and very few surfers who survive shark attacks have any animosity towards the shark. In fact most go back to surfing as soon as their wounds, physical and psychological, heal.

Looks like they aren't getting worse, they are just reported more. Let this be a lesson to you on how much to base your view of reality on what the news tells you.

Notice, I never said attacks are happening more often, only that they report them more often. Please read what I said and not insinuate I know nothing.
I love sharks, I watch Shark Week all the time, I support protecting them, and support stopping shark-fin fishing. Doesn't mean I want to go into their domain and swim around looking delicious. People take their chances when they swim in areas where sharks are known to live. That is what I was saying. It's old news, shark attacks are always reported (and usually with a lot of hype and clips from "JAWS") because it gets headlines and people love it. That doesn't make the danger any less real.

It's tragic, but sharks are not really evil... they don't really prefer the taste of human meat... The main reason why they bite people is because they mistake it for a fish or manatee or something...
I wonder why they go in such shallow waters though... Maybe a lack of food or pollution in the deeper waters?
earthtoandyAug 18, 2010
Thats a pretty broad generalization. Maybe this particular shark was just an assh**e.

I agree sharks aren't evil, but I don't agree that they avoid humans for seals. I think they just eat when they're hungry, which statistically means they eat seals more than humans. I think scientists just say otherwise to make people feel better about being in the water.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Sharks are present in shallow waters because that's where they hunt. Different species are found in different water columns and depths. Also, just a fun fact, deeper waters are cleaner than near shore waters. More filtration, more water, etc etc.

Diggers believe that there are such things as good and evil? I thought we were all animals locked in an amoral struggle for the survival of the fittest.

What is epic about being eviscerated by a shark?

It's a f**king giant shark, and most of us will probably die from a heart attack, stroke, or some other drawn out process.

Here's a video of how they hunt. They're ambush predators. They hang out at the bottom until they see something, then they shoot up at full speed with their mouth wide open. This guy was SOOO f**ked.

Die by: drowning in water: 140,000/year --- by sharks in water: 4/year
You are more likely to die falling off a chair than by a shark - and a chair is not considered evil. Nor do we write Terror stories every time someone falls and dies off their chair.

Sharks live in the water. We live on land. When we go into the water, we are essentially shark food.
diceauAug 18, 2010
Yeah, but if you do some research there are many places around the world where you can surf without being bothered by sharks. Why people continue to surf in WA and SA I am not sure ... that's where all the Australian shark attacks occur (apart from our canal systems).
I've been surfing eastern Australian beaches for the last 5 years and still haven't even seen a shark. Constant patrols and warnings help that.
infinitysnatchAug 18, 2010
The only rational explanation for entering the water in Australia is if something is already trying to kill you on the land. Actually I guess this happens a lot.
rsmith32Aug 18, 2010
This is a myth. Unless you are out hiking through the bush, you are in very little danger from dangerous animals.
The exception is of course drop bears, which could be lying in wait anywhere.
infinitysnatchAug 18, 2010
A vile and odious lie. I've seen their spiders man. They're like everywhere, man. Hiding behind clocks and s**t.
