Tap, tap, tap...is this thing on?
What part of the Shark bites will continue until the Shark tournaments cease don't people seem to understand?
There was another Shark party last Thursday. This one was at Isle of Palms, South Carolina. A 37-year-old man was swimming in the breakers when a 5-foot Shark grabbed his hand and took a taste. He required medical attention, but his hand will be fine...the guy probably wasn't a Shark fisherman. There are no pictures so we are going to have to fake it again.
This is more permanent than the damage done in Isle of Palms.
Two people were jammed at the Isle of Palms on the same day last August. They didn't report the Shark species back then either.
Read.
The war will continue until the Shark fishing stops,

Three reasons:
1) Sharks are in a serious population decline while the human population is exploding at a rate where it will eventually become unsustainable. While the death of a human by shark attack is a tragic event, it is much less environmentally damaging than the death of a shark by a human.
2) Sharks are animals that rarely bite humans in error, and much more rarely attack humans as a source of food. Humans typically kill sharks for profit or sport.
3) Humans have (at least theoretically) the mental ability to understand the consequences of their actions. We know that it is irresponsible to kill animals who are already overexploited. In the rare case that a shark bites a human, the animal is acting on a survival feeding instinct.
