A reminder of how some Cape Coders feel about the thriving white shark population on Cape Cod.

With Federal and State protection of white sharks, and their sought after prey, seals, there will be no letup in incidences involving people. -Tom

Shark Week is being called “Racist” because most of the coverage is about Great WHITE Sharks....

My experience is with a sand shark. perfectly harmless. He was chasing the small fishes next to the shoreline where we were. There were four of us six feet from shore. Waist deep. Full moon and the Gulf was as smooth as I have ever seen it. Like glass. He was feeding on small fishes near shore and was almost right on us when I pulled my wife away to shore. The women were slightly spooked. When the flash of cell camera flashed, the shark fled quickly away.

I'm more afraid of Foamy, the rabid dolphin.

There was an article yesterday about sharks loading up their families into the family truckster and taking them to St Louis to see the Arch.

understanding that they’re capable of killing or maiming you is not being scared...

it’s common sense...

Watch Josh Gates and William Shatner in Expedition Unknown: Shark Trek on the Discovery Channel. It’s well worth your time. Plenty of belly laughs.

Yes. I moved from the west coast of WA, literally, to the Great Lakes. Great swimming here!
This leftist wave of encouraging huge predators to thrive makes me ill.

Considering what I’ve been reading in the CCT about attempted abductions in the area of late, I’d be more worried about land sharks...
