Relax! The shark is only curious. And this is just an “interaction.”
“Experts”–yeah, we just love ’em–are now saying that shark attacks shouldn’t be called shark attacks–unfair to the sharks, don’t you know–but “negative interactions” or just “encounters” with sharks (https://nypost.com/2021/07/15/shark-experts-insist-on-re-branding-attacks-as-shark-interactions/).
Like sharks care what you call them. Like it’ll hurt their feelings.
These particular experts are in Australia, a country well known for shark attacks. But really it was just some innocent big fish taking an innocent bite out of someone’s leg, just to see what it’d taste like.
The truth is that the waters around our beaches are full of sharks, pretty much all the time, and occasionally a shark bites somebody… or takes several bites, and kills the swimmer. This is what sharks do. They are predators. It’s how they live.
There’s no point in being mad at sharks, hating them, declaring war on them, or being so afraid of sharks that you won’t step into your bathtub. But there’s no point in trying to depict them as a lot of cozy-cuddles, either.
Then again, we live in a time when people can get arrested for using the wrong pronoun, or trolled on the social media for wearing a Chinese-style prom gown.
Again I say it: there’s no one as anti-human as a humanist.
I can just see satan and his demonic hordes laughing themselves silly over the stupidity of the humans who are dancing on their strings.
I’ll bet our experts give them the loudest laughs.
That nails it, Erlene.
I’m sure they do. Experts?! Wow.
This is Shark Week on the Discovery channel, plus all the shark action/comedy movies ( in one Ann Coulter plays the U.S. Vice President).
Good advice: Don’t watch “Sharknado.”
