This was a basking shark... those things bother no one, no teefuses! But still, why put yourself in danger like that, what it that huge fish slapped its tail?

And you've seen men jump in after great whites!!??

I reckon you mean not as destructive , that's true

I have a friend who likes them too , obsessively

I seriously can't fathom why

[Edited 7/27/11 7:33am]

I think the journalists of that video are, by far, more annoying, with those fake voices, and why did they use a pic of a great white? Manipulation much? bait much? The media has gone too far here, they have sold the story as if the guy had tried to rape a tiger shark or something...

what this guy did was reckless, but he only "molested" the animal for a couple of seconds. At least he didn't hunt him , like that poor Macko

Go back 50 years see how many sharks have been killed by man.....millions....And as 4 this shark fin soup...any1 who has ever had that soup should b cut open and made 2 swim with a shark.(idiots)

sharks are acutally really fascinating creatures. they have a bad reputation but that's just becauase humans are kind of stupid about interacting with them.

“Basking Sharks are the second largest fish in the ocean,” said Tony Lacasse of the New England Aquarium. “They’re literally a whale caught in a shark’s body. They can get up to be about 30-feet long and they’re really harmless.”

No, they are not

Agreed You're right how they love to do that spin on things. But dude was still dumb.

here's a fact that may disgust you even more... dude caught that macko in the vineyard where they have a yearly sharking contest.

this year... the winner caught and killed an endangered threasher shark.

Because cows are domesticated animals, bred for consumption and not wild animals that belong were they belong and should be left alone. Sharks keep balance... domestic cows do not. If wolves eat/hunt them, people kill wolves.... another wild animal.

Man has helped the cow along for his own needs, domestic cows are different from their wild cousins... and they serve an important need for man. Cows are big business. $$$ This is why they are overbred.

This is 100% true. But unfortunately what it comes down to in the end is that SOME sharks WILL attack human beings if we enter into their habitat. The only way to ever insure that there is never another shark attack would be for no one to ever get in the ocean again. Since we know that isn't going to happen, even if the attacks are largely unintentional (which is to say, sharks aren't targeting us, we just look like food), they're still going to happen.

Saw a news report earlier this week that claimed that humans kill 240,000 sharks every day.

Kinda gave me pause (I said "no way").......so I checked for myself & that appears to be a fairly accurate (perhaps even conservative) number.

We kill hundreds of thousands of pretty much everything every day. There is nearly seven billion of us now (if not more) and most of us eat some kind of meat. If we don't kill them that way we do it while trying to kill something else (sharks are killed both ways). If we don't kill them purposefully or accidentally while harvesting them for food we we do it by expanding into, or just straight destroying, their natural habitats. And then of course there is all the deaths caused by our poisoning their environments with an endless amount of foreign substances. We rock! (dripping with sarcasm )

Yeah..not a classy lot, humans (esp when you consider the scope you mention). The shark thing struck me mainly because the majority of the kills (supposedly) are for their fins only. That seemed especially vile.

Its true. Hawaii outlawed shark's fin soup and the possession of shark's fins. Federal law (and state laws, here and in some others) prohibit the "finning" of sharks in California, but we're pushing the same law has Hawaii has. Some countries have spoken out against the process and are pushing to regulate it as well. But nothing has really made a difference, especially in countries where its long been considered a delicacy. In those places there are people willing to overpay for the soup so its just pushed the whole thing underground. Its one of those things where they will never be able to stop and search every boat, so they will never be able to completely end it.

Edit: Holy what the heck I shoulda proofread that sucker.

How could one eat shark, much less fish? I like some seafood but sharks? Come on. Leave them motherfuckers alone, they have enough trouble with divers coming in near their turf...

I used to eat shark steaks often when I was in my 20's. Its really good when cooked with ginger and orange. The meat is light and tender. Good stuff.... until you realize that they are being hunted and slaughtered before they can breed and grow.

It turns my stomache now to see shark steaks still being sold were I live, I will not buy/eat it any more. Actually I do not buy swordfish either... it tastes similar to shark. Its oily like the shark meat.

I am glad people here in America really never caught on to liking shark meat. Its a good thing ofr the sharks.

What a moron. Too bad the shark didn't bat him off with a flick of his tail and bust him up.

They have an annual shark fishing tournament here in Freeport. I took the kids once, and NEVER AGAIN. It's disgusting.
