How are the sharks evil? If you go in their domain then you should expect to get eaten. They don’t have the best eyesight so will just assume anything floating is good for eating. |

He was in the sharks domain, sharks are the top of that domains food chain, prepare to get eaten.
Shark noses are a mass of intense sense receptors, apparently punching them on the nose is agony and will stop an attack.
Sharks only usually take one bite of a human, they taste that they are not an energy rich source of food so dont tend to go back for another bite.
I thank Discovery channel shark week for the above  |

"I would hunt them to extinction and make soup from their fins.. they attack for no reason "
Agree about hunting to extinction, not a nice thing just for soup.
But really they attack surfers as from below they have an identical outline to a seal, one of their food sources. |

Seriously ! Would you hunt all predatory species to extinction that exist on this planet, just because they are hungry and doing what comes naturally to them ? |

You’re obviously trolling but what a weird subject to troll about.
Any wild animal that attacks or kills a human doesn’t do it out of hatred or spite or malice. They can’t go to McDonalds or Tesco to get their food and they can’t distinguish between a food source or a possible threat, any person that goes into their territory should expect to be eaten or attacked. |

No. I would hunt them because they are nasty.. Hippos and elephants no problem...crocodiles and sharks are crafty buggers |

It happens a lot at sea in the war, sharks smell the blood from miles away and flock. It’s a sad part of that time, but not the first time or the only time. It’s nature |

Shame to see one of the oldest creatures on this planet wiped out just because it’s a predator..... if we did that how different are we from them ?
Only one difference we are a species killing because we can and don’t like something, where as all the other species on this planet, kill to eat and survive
We are the bad species on this planet ! |

Shark fin soup is banned in lots of country's including China, although it can still be found served illegally. This is not just because the sharks are being fished into extinction but because the Chinese fishermen cut the fins off and throw the still alive and twitching shark back into the sea. The fin is worth more than the shark itself so they fill the boats up with as many fins as possible. That's a lot of sharks left to die in the sea.
We should leave the sharks alone and keep out of their territory. Sharks don't kill for fun or profit they need to eat and stay alive. |

I've had a lot of close encounters with sharks, a few of them were dangerous encounters, and a couple were close calls with Tiger and Bull Sharks. I have a very healthy fear and respect for the danger they can present. But I'm not scared of them and wouldn't consider them 'Evil' in any way.
Crocodiles however are a different story.... I know they're not actually evil, but they do scare the shit out of me lol. They don't mess around, you feel the intent when they stalk you, there is no curiosity like you get with sharks, lions or snakes. Crocs don't come to look at you..... they come to look for an opportunity to kill and eat you. I get the cold sweats just thinking about them!

So crocs are worse...I think you are right. I read that they are unchanged for millions of years. The perfect killing machine. Glad I did not live on the planet then. |

I actually went to bed and dreamed about sharks last night. One was attacking but I managed to cut off one of his lateral fins with my divers knife. That made it worse and after that the bugger could only swim in circles..
Around and around and around me all night.. |

Not strictly true, they can mistake you for seals which are their natural source of food. And let's be fair, they are predators just like us and we're a lot more dangerous than us, thay at least don't kill for fun like us |

They say that sharks mistake us for seals.. who knows what goes on in the mind of such a cruel creature. All I know is that when they cut those buggers open they find all sorts of strange things.. I only ever paddle in the sea. Who knows what lurks just off the shoreline waiting to pounce.. |

Sharks aren't cruel, end of, they are just apex predators like us. I spent a fair chunk of my life as a professional diver (navy), I've spent an awful lot of time in the sea, I've seen a few sharks, I've seen them close up in a feeding frenzy too, scary for sure but they weren't interested in me at all.
In all honesty I believe toe nail clippers are more dangerous to humans |

Humans are more dangerous to humans than any other apex predator out there, land, sea, or sky. |

Humans kill for pleasure, they also hurt and maim for pleasure or personal gain. If any species needs categorizing as evil it's us, sharks and crocodiles don't even come close |

"What is an Apex predator please?"
Depends how technical you want to go.
Generally it is the predator at the top of the food chain with no natural predators that regularly attack them solely for food.
As a species humans are the ultimate apex predator due to our technology, no other animal can stand up vs a gun, bomb etc.
But officially humans are not considered apex predators because we are omnivores and don't eat meat exclusively.
Megladon is/was considered the apex predator of all time. |

Sharks are not actually interested in humans, they only attack because they think we're seals. That's why they take one bite, realise we're not food and let go.
Unfortunately one bite is often enough to kill a human, but the shark doesn't know that, not does it intend to kill humans.
The evil ones are the people who herd sharks into shallow water, hack their dorsal find off and leave to swim away, dying in agony. |

It would be better to wipe out the most vicious, deadly predator on the planet, one that kills just for pleasure... the human race.
Oh but then you constantly moan when nature tries to do that with a virus.
Don’t worry I’m sure another neurotic cause will be along in a minute. |

"In world war two a German sub sank an English ship..
600 souls were eaten by sharks..
Actually most died from drinking sea water but there we are. "
In July 1945, Indianapolis completed a top-secret high-speed trip to deliver parts of Little Boy, the first nuclear weapon ever used in combat, to the United States Army Air Force Base on the island of Tinian, and subsequently departed for the Philippines on training duty. At 0015 on 30 July, the ship was torpedoed by the Imperial Japanese Navy submarine I-58, and sank in 12 minutes. Of 1,195 crewmen aboard, approximately 300 went down with the ship.[4] The remaining 890 faced exposure, dehydration, saltwater poisoning, and shark attacks while stranded in the open ocean with few lifeboats and almost no food or water. The Navy only learned of the sinking four days later, when survivors were spotted by the crew of a PV-1 Ventura on routine patrol. Only 316 survived.[4] The sinking of Indianapolis resulted in the greatest single loss of life at sea, from a single ship, in the history of the US Navy.[a] |
