  • Bit 2 victims and hurt 2 others. What did it do to the 2 others? Poke them in the eye?
  • The ocean is their habitat. It's summertime, and they're hungry. Stay out of the freaking water. It's just that simple!
  • Eliminate their food sources, raise the temperature of their world and finally stop them from trying to survive through it all. Ohhhh the irony.
  • Those sharks have been there since at least the 1980s when that area was a popular local surfing spot. I know, because I used to surf there.

    Why is it an attack? Always bias against normal feeding processes by wild animals doing their thing. The way I see it is those people chose to be the next appetiser on a buffet.
  • Don't do anything dumb that's why they attack sharks are legally blind and making lots of noise draws them so dont swim away from them be calm they won't bother you if they approach just redirect them and definitely don't wear anything flashy or if you're bleeding stay out the water they will go into a feeding frenzy mode that they will shut most things off at that point
  • What happened to "people have more chance of strike by lightning than attack by sharks". ???

    Anyone know or have a guess from that photo the shark species? That doesn’t look like a bull shark.
  • Dam democrats, the shark doesn't have to have a permit to swim there

    That's a bull shark yeah that's one shark that you know if you kind of took down the numbers a little just a little bit I don't think it would hurt people's feelings those sharks there are plentiful and they attack more people I think than any other shark out there but I'm sorry you would not catch me out in the waters right now they're migrating look off the coast of Florida and see how many of those silky spinners and black tips are migrating you couldn't give me no amount of money to go in that water
