It is a truth universally acknowledged that a female shark in possession of an intimidating set of teeth has every right to consume, digest, and eventually vomit back up any smaller male sharks who happen to get in her way. According to BBC, this exact scenario indeed took place this week at the COEX Aquarium in Seoul as the result of a turf war between a female sand tiger shark and a male banded hound shark.
Says Newsweek:
This act of shark cannibalism likely was the result of the sharks bumping into one another. âSharks have their own territories,â an aquarium official told Reuters. âSometimes, when they bump into each other, they bite out of astonishment.â
Thank you, noble sand tiger shark, for taking the phrase "eating your feelings" to its logical conclusion. We salute you.

This is not male vs female. It is not cannibalism. They are different SPECIES. Weak.

So if it’s two different species, how is it cannibalism?

It is a truth universally acknowledged that feminists will find a way to view any event through the prism of the weird ideology which consumes them. This event is an example of bad aquarium keeping, but if an example of a smaller shark species being consumed by a far larger, more aggressive shark species makes this woman happy, so be it.

Beware the eoman. Hear her roar....and just nonstop complaining.
The guy shark probably begged for the peace.

And as I expected they have a photo of a different shark species on the story.
They put a photo of a white shark with the story. -Tom
