Sharks don't "harm" or "threaten," those are human characteristics.

I had in mind that it be eaten. Lot of shark'n'taties in 19 feet of noah's arc.

Or cut up for bait.

Why?

'Cause we can.

We Humans, not sharks, are atop the food chain.

We Humans, not sharks, are atop the food chain.

I'm looking at "harm" and "threaten" from the viewpoint of the humans. The shark hasn't made any humans feel threatened by being near them (that we know of).

I don't know if you've ever had it, but shark meat is not very good.

'Cause we can

Great White Sharks are an endangered species. We need to keep as many alive as possible, because we depend upon their existence more than we realize.

The food chain is not in question here. Sharks don't eat humans. In the movies, they do, but not in reality. There's no reason to kill this shark.

BTW, why this shark in particular? It's 19 feet long. It's big, but that doesn't make it more dangerous. In fact, I would think a shark that size would be LESS dangerous than a Makko Shark (which would be smaller, lighter, and a LOT faster).
