Hey, am I the only one rooting for the sharks in Florida? These poor creatures are hunted to extinction - victims of man’s pollution, torture and hate. Why not snack on a few beach goers? Especially ones on boards who from below look exactly like a shark’s natural food of sea turtles and seals.
I’d also like to note that two of the attacks were confirmed as Bull Sharks, a small (6-12 ft.) but incredibly bold and belligerent species that likes to bite everything in the hopes some items are edible. They account for most attacks on humans, but few fatalities. Although they lack the size and glamour of a Great White or Tiger shark, they have been known to swim far upstream in fresh water rivers in search of prey, bumping into people along the way.
I’m rather surprised the 14 year old girl died from her injuries, as usually a shark takes a ‘test bite’ first to determine how tasty the prey is, and they don’t seem to care much for humans. This may be subject to change, as obesity rises world wide. One can’t help but think most humans now taste like whale blubber. Mmmm….Blubber!
Wonder what she was wearing –Yum Yum Yellow? Some years back bright yellow was the ‘in’ color for swimwear. That is, until it was noted that sharks really liked the contrast of bright suit against murky water. Several attacks took a bite out of yellow swimwear sales and gave rise to the nickname Yum Yum.
The loss of Jamie was very sad, and I hope surfing enthusiasts can continue to enjoy their sport, but remember – they were here first. About 300 million years first. And they deserve to live 300 million more – without you splashing around in their living room.
