Sharkwater FTW
Sure there’s a few rare incidents of them attacking humans
but the same is true of lightning
and lightning strikes are actually more frequent than shark bites. If Spielberg had created Zappers instead of Jaws, about how frequently people get struck and killed by lightning would there be a greater fear irrational fear of the atmospheric discharge of electricity and indifference to our cartilaginous friends? I think so.
Sharks are beautiful.
And the belief that they’re man-eating, devouring, aquatic killing machines is a purely irrational fear.
Not too much to say here. Rob Stewart says it all. I’m a huge fan, benefactor, philanthropist, afficionado, and exited knowledge learner of sharks. They’re endangered. The shouldn’t be. Spielberg’s Jaws started irrational fear. I’ve said that message to many a people, but Rob Stewart says it with incredible clarity. His message is important!
