So does other animal food.
But not to vegeterians.

For a time After leaving road works and before taking up my union job, I fished beaches south of Balina for twelve hours a day.
Sharks became an ordinary thing, seen all the time in the waves hitting the beaches even ripping my jew fish, favorite target, or Tailor on the way in.
People, despite being warned, swam midst schools of bait fish.
Asking for trouble, shark has always been food, many fish and chip shops sold only it, until NZ Hoki became even cheaper.
Foxy in truth bush people kill, and always will those snakes,not too around the farm yard or house, even suburban rural homes, is to invite death to unwary kids or adults,yes kill the shak not the swimmer

Foxy,
Cattle, sheep etc too. That's why the flesh devouring creatures are the more switched on.

Indy,

Not so sure about being "switched on."

Many suffer from obesity and health problems.
That vegans don't have.
Maybe it's a question of moderation and balance
in all things?

Only a ratbag group of the species would ever suggest we should protect our predators.

It does appear that we have a virus risen in the human species that causes such stupidity among those infected, that they want to see others torn apart by predators.

We should automatically put down any such infected people, as they are traitors to their species, & totally incurable. They are probably the most dangerous predator of all.

//Should we be Killing those Sharks?//

I dunno, what species are they and are they endangered?

There are sharks in Lake Macquarie, where I go swimming in the warmer part of the year. Big buggers, by all reports. I don't worry about being attacked by them, because life is too short to worry about extremely improbable things like that unless you're flying the starship 'Heart of Gold'.

//Only a ratbag group of the species would ever suggest we should protect our predators.//

Did you know that animal most likely to kill you in Australia isn't a shark, snake, spider, crododile, venomous jellyfish, blue-ringed octopus or any of the ones you might think of at first, or be frightened of?

It's horses. Dangerous predatory animals, if you consider it from an actuarial point of view. I'm not saying we should round all of them up for pet food, but we really should get rid of all the unnecessary ones to minimise the risk. We could start with the ones they use for racing. I know horse races are fun but they're also pointless, and you can race dogs or some other less lethal animal instead for much the same level of excitement.

Now cue ratbag traitors to the species to suggest we should not cull horses because they, personally, are fond of horses.
