Caribbean shark attack
Jump to: Newest in thread
A woman has had her hands bitten off while trying to take a selfie with a shark. She was paddling in the water in the northern West Indies, which are famous for beating everyone at cricket and tax evasion, when she was attacked by the evil bugger.
This is all over the news!

I went to Egypt a few years ago and did a scuba diving trip in the Red Sea. It was only AFTER we got back on the boat that the guide told us another tourist had been taken off that same reef by a shark 2 days earlier  |

It is what sharks may well do.
And it is what stupid people do |

"Not evil
Just a shark
This.. 
In its own environment.."
It’s not safe to allow sharks in holiday resorts…. These dangerous buggers will be feasting on unsuspecting tourists. Once they get a taste for blood…… |

"Sharks live in the sea, it's their natural habitat.
Humans live on the land, ditto.
Just as when we visit foreign countries, we should respect the locals.
Good to see Darwin's Law still works."
Sharks don’t care if you respect them or not… they just see you as a tasty snack….. |

Disappointed with your fake news Nicolle. The Windies have been shite at cricket for years now! |

If you go in the sea, you accept that you're, perhaps, no longer top of the food chain.
I've had many encounters with sharks, wobbiegongs, bronze whalers, silky sharks, grey reef sharks and others. They're unpredictable, wild animals, they're magnificent animals, they're beautiful animals but they are NOT, by any means 'evil'.
If you want to be fully safe from sharks in the Caribbean, stay on shore, sit under a palm tree but bear in mind, more people are killed by falling coconuts than by sharks. |

Nicole will heed your good advice. A caravan in Rhyl might be this years retreat. |

Well the poor influencer wasn’t the one doing the attacking! Sounds like victim blaming here."
Sharks don't see humans as food, but if someone is dumb enough to deliberately tempt one - in it's own environment - the shark may try. Yes we are blaming the so called victim, if she hadn't been in the shark's world, she would've been safe. |

I met a dive instructor once who had lost 3 fingers to eels because he used to feed them sausages to entice them out of their caves. It's not as if they look like fingers or anything.
Fair play to the eels and to this shark. |

The irony here is I'm sat currently in alpaca pyjamas with socks like Christmas stockings watching Hey Duggee's Greatest Hits with a 2 year old.
Adventurous indeed |

One might think after losing one finger he would have invested in a pair of tongs..
After losing three there's probably little point.. |

Yep, although metal might attract things like Barracuda so might have lost a finger ot two that way. A tough call. |

Humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks every year. That's an average of almost 274,000 sharks every day, over 11,000 sharks every hour, and around three sharks every second.
In contrast "The Florida Museum of Natural History’s International Shark Attack File investigated 88 alleged shark-human interactions worldwide in 2024. ISAF confirmed 47 unprovoked shark bites on humans and 24 provoked bites." |

Haha ! I'm sure when you're young one is older you'll be off on great adventures together.  |

I would not say that the shark is the evil one in this scenario. |

Well these lovely sandy beaches and clear blue sea are so inviting…. These evil buggers are there prowling in the shallows like piss heads in a kebab shop!

My daughter was working in the Maldives filming two octopi mating and her mates were filming a white tipped reef shark circling her head, she didn't know about it till they were looking at the video when back in England. |

White tips are OK, usually you go diving to see stuff like that. It's pretty rare for them to attack a human.
That being said octopuses are among my favourite things to see!💛 |

Sharks in Rhyl you say? They may need a bigger pedalo. Little known fact, sharks rarely attack dry people. |

Was she making a fish dogging documentary? These evil buggers could have attacked at any second!
