We’d occasionally have dogfish brushing up against us snorkeling, the buggers were everywhere. I think they just thought we had a good texture for scratching off parasites.
I don’t think we’re all that interesting to sharks, or that our weird shape and odd electromagnetic properties even cause us to register as ‘food’ properly unless somebody’s particularly desperate. I remember one (way too fast, NO Idea the species) snatched a fish somebody was trying to get a picture of. I felt like I would have been food-sized to him/her, but we were ignored.
“The real threat is humans. For every one human killed by a shark, there are approximately 25 million sharks killed by humans.”
And the thesis here is: That human losses are acceptable? Walk away and let the sharks win?
Sharks are ocean terrorists. When these “bears of the sea” stop their gratuitous, vicious attacks, so will we. Until that time, let them know we will be vigilant and fight relentlessly against them, using every resource and technology at our disposal. The Wet War will continue.
