Unrestrained and willful murder.

And we think we are civilised. So go bite a dolphin. Eat your dog, someone elses child would do. Sorry people, some things make me angry.

Diane, I am in full agreement with you. The fins are used to make sharkfin soup and vitamins. But if they are not going to use the whole shark then they should come up with an alternative ticks me off too. Every creature has its day and I think mans day will come evenually, even the dinosaurs day evenually came. Everything was put here for a purpose and senseless killing is uncalled for!!!!!!!!!!Sorry for the rant.

Haven’t really been in the ocean since I saw Jaws as a child.
When I have tried to overcome my shark issue, I get my piggy in there, and my mind gets all paranoid like I was an addict taking a hit with the cops just across the street.
I just have to calm down and turn around and walk back to my drink and chair.
I can’t stand when my son is playing in there either….cause all I am thinking is…if the shark gets him….I would really have to contemplate going after him….LOL… I know in my heart my mother’s instinct would probably take over and I would go after my child, but my rational mind wonders….
So it’s the pool for me too.
Love the aquarium, and big fish tanks….love to look at them with a thick piece of glass between us.

Oh and snakes, pretty much keep me out of anything too outdoorsy or forest like.

My mode of sea bathing is sitting down on the edge of the waves, letting them toss me about a bit. I never go in above my knees, but my husband does swim out. I suppose it is alright on the east coast, but on the west coast here it is deadly dangerous from the rips, drifts, and holes. I don't like the sting rays either.

Frizzbee, you can be assured your mothers instinct would take over, and you would move down that beach like a soldier of Atilla the Hun. You would have that shark out of the water in a trice. and your babe even quicker. Mothers are like that.
