How would you ,or anyone else, know how many people that shark has eaten?

Explain what sharks are good for? Why do we need them swimming around?

Don't recite some bunny-hugger mumbo jumbo, about predators serve a great purpose.

People are the #1 predator and we can handle everything just fine without sharks, grizzly bears, mountain lions, wolves, etc.

Do you have something to say, or do you just want to name call?

Of course, I don't know for sure how many people the "shark has eaten," but judging from shark nature/behavior, I don't imagine it would have eaten anybody (you clearly have been watching too many movies).

Far more people are killed by bees than by sharks. In fact, from an annual view point, I believe more people are killed by ball point pens than by sharks per year (don't quote me on that, I'm not sure).

To wipe out all sharks would be a massive undertaking, costing trillions probably and taking countless man hours.. It would seem like a massive waste that would not really accomplish anything. What is accomplished by wiping them out? You feeling righteous about yourself?

If you want to wipe out EVERY predatory species in the world, go right ahead. Lots of luck to you. Though I think you would soon realize how impotent you are.

Oh, and BTW...far from hugging bunnies, I really hate them. The town I live in has a huge problem with rabbit overpopulation. I think more people need to buy shotguns around here.

Sorry dude -the world is far more interesting with dangerous predators in it.

Turning the earth into a giant shopping mall, by eliminating all of the scary stuff, is hardly a worthwhile goal. Nothing to do with their contributions to the ecosystem - sanitized wilderness is boring.

By all means, give a dangerous game hunt a try - maybe you'll learn to respect these remarkable animals. If not, you'll be at least one step closer to "making the world a safer place" for bunnies and poodles.
