Thread: Special kind of stupid...

This frame is the one causing the most comments (but these reactively anti-fishing commenting morons don't even take the time to notice the terminal rig is NOT even in the water...

Surely these little critters wouldn't harm you...

I would be too. Guessing it's a bull shark, primarily due to the large dorsal fin.

People don't understand that sharks don't roam the ocean looking for a small child to prey on.But River Monster's Jeremy Wade says otherwise.

"There are these things called shark attacks, but there is no such thing as a shark attack. I have never seen a real shark attack. I know you’re making a weird face as you’re reading this. OK people, a shark attack is not what we see on TV and what people portray it as.

We’re humans. We live on land.

Sharks live in water.

So if you’re swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that’s called trespassing. That is called trespassing. That is not a shark attack. A shark attack is if you’re chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that’s a shark attack. An attack is when something happens to you in a place you are supposed to be. Now, if you’re chilling in the water, that is called invasion of space. So I have never heard of a shark attack.

When I see on the news where it’s like, “There have been 10 shark attacks,” I’m like, “Hey, for real?! They’re just running around? Sharks are walking now, huh! We live on the land, we don’t live underwater.”

paraphrased from the comedy of Ian Edwards

I can find a lot of anecdotal evidence of people being killed and eaten by a shark, but all empirical evidence mentions the fact that a human was bitten and harmed. No mention of victim being consumed. Survivors of plane crashes from WW2, from shipwrecks, all say they saw sharks kill and eat people. Every study I have looked at over the years basically say the same thing, the shark bites, lets go. ( and spits and wipes his mouth) Just a taste test.
