Sharks: Not So Bad?
Are sharks that bad?
Everyday after shark attack’s I hear stereotypes saying it’s always the sharks fault.
However, they are wrong, shark’s instinct is to survive, if that mean’s taking a bite out of a swimmer that has wandered into their territory. Scientests have proven time and time again that sharks don’t deliberately attack us, that over 95% of the time they mistake us for food, otherwise known as seals. We have two choices for both people and sharks to win, we can stay out of the water for good, or we can set up large nets to prevent them from eating us.
“People have a greater chance of dying from a bee sting or eating peanuts than they do from being attacked by a shark, a Texas scientist said.” – link to the full story.

I have seen people swimming with them and the sharks are more nervous of us then we are of them, we are in their territory so we should give them respect, its their home not ours we are the intruders in their world. Because people are tying to take over he world they tend to forget this. Thanks for sharing this.

No problem, I just decided to prove that we are the ones at fault.
