Ok, I am getting as sick as the next human with the killing of wild animals for random sport. If you ain't going to bag it and use it why kill it?
I ask, because it is now frowned upon...were these "hunts" not just the caged or staged slaughter of wild animals in the same manner that these
folks would participate in while playing golf? So detached from the beauty of the being dead in the hands...these images are a relic, or so we
thought, of our barbaric past...
Ok. Now if you have made it this far, many people are saying well, this is outdated, killing lions and such and standing on their heads for pics is
frowned upon and shooting "old" lions and tigers for fun is not happening anymore. It sure is.
And then, you have the aniamal that is getting wasted to extinction, the coolest animal ever, imho, the shark. Opinion is, for this one animal it
seems, that it is dandy to kill em all... these pics remind me of the Hemmingway shots...just as the animals faded into danger of extinction...and yet
no one sees the similarities...these are "celebrated" in the papers: Peruse the "catch of the day": some how the non-mamailian nature makes this
ok?
Now watch the video listed in the title. Another person demystifying this amazing and absolutely beautiful creature! Thanks so much Nina for
BELIEVING!
Sharks are dangerous. They will kill you and eat you and will not think twice about it. So why can't I do the same? I love shark too. The texture
is fantastic! The taste is very "fishy" and it's great fried. Seriously
Fascinating and calmly surreal! As long as sharks are well fed, they appear rather docile enough to pet like a dog! Just wondered if the nice shark
knew it needed oxygen through its gills while in a relaxed state!

sharks are being set upon the fast track to extinction, largely cause they have been giving such a rediculous stereotype akin to wolves in old europe.
however, they are in the intellect spectrum of gators, and the woman in the video will find that out eventually. you're affinity for sharks is
evident in that av of yours, looks like picasso's and great white's love child.
I love sharks, too. I live every week like it's shark week.
It's very upsetting when I hear about senseless shark hunting and killing. If you do it for food . . . go right ahead. But if you are only doing it
for sport then you suck eight million ways that defy language sufficiently hateful enough to describe you.
I love to cage dive. We've been saving up to go visit Seal Island in South Africa . . . home of the famous breaching sharks. It's mesmerizing to
watch such a big beast leap out of the water and take down a seal.
Ok, how is bear on your menu? You enjoy eating leopards? If sharks wanted to kill humans, they would. Only a few attacks out of thousands are not
accidents ie: shark sees your foot in murky water and thinkis it's a fish...
Also, the fact they are tasty is just that - lot's of tasty stuff in the world -no need for sentient beings to kill off the worlds creatures for
soup!
I believe that we know very little about sharks even compared to crocodiles. A crock in the wild would never, never never let a human that close
without running or attacking. You can't pet wild crocodiles. You can't jump in their habitat and not expect to be eaten. Clearly, there is
something different in the way the animals perceive humans. Sharks do not attack "just cause" an alligator on the other hand will hunt you down
and eat you alive.
Thank you for that inspiring video! That sharks eyes while it was "enjoying" the magic of human touch were so beautiful.
Speaking of beauty, that song "Malaguena Salerosa" makes my heart and soul sore to a better place.
To kill a predator is against the laws of the natural world. Something rather egotistical about that. Small minded people that do not think beyond
there limited world do things like that.
Thanks LoneGunMan! The song is great and the clarity and production of the video are fantastic! This is a full screen view with good speakers turned
up type of video...
You can see if you watch closely, the first shark she "pets" has bites out of her pectoral fins and is a little smaller than the second shark (I
love how she puts her hand practically in its mouth) - the second guy is a decent sized black tip, could take her pretty easily if desired...
Hey guys and ladies, Bump for my son making me get to know the black-tip reef shark a little better via his second grade diorama project! Glad he
likes sharks - they ROCK!
10,000's of sharks right off the coast? How many died that day in their territory? 0
Bull sharks are nuts, but also exhibit calm behaviors...notice as the dork scuba diving keeps screaming they come to check it out - stay calm
people...

I would love to eat bear! I hear it's pretty good. I have yet to try. I'm a Leo. I would not eat a leapard. That's canibalism.
Id never kill an animal that I would not eat. Well.. I dont like snakes. All snakes must die. Roaches too. ...and mosquitoes. But everything else
is cool lol
Here are a couple more videos to dispell the idea that they simply are savage killing machines that have no purpose other than to eat you. I love
these animals not only for the fact they are beautiful, but that they are also top-predators.

Hi girl_interrupted - sorry so long on a reply! Thanks and I'm glad you feel the same way - sharks are beautiful and scary at the same time -
respect! To further prove the point that the are not out for human blood - here is a nice vid about a 10-12ft Great White shown swimming in the surf
with all the surfers in San Diego.
