jackalope14 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 erm- I don't think Sportsmanship would be an apropriate word choice there.... You must be a faarrrrrr left wing liberal, animal rights activist. You're trying to make me out to be a bad guy here. I'm just merely stating, I honestly don't care if the Shark gets speared or if it lives another (insert random number here) years. Sure it sucks for the shark, but I mean c'mon. If a fly is buzzing around you, you swat it don't you? No. Why would I kill an innocent creature who has done me no deliberate harm? Because it is annoying. I dont think they should kill the shark, only because it seems like a waste of time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Who cares if it dies? One of the things China is known for is shark fin soup. Killing sharks is not that rare. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 It's a waste of resources to hunt the shark down and kill it, but if it makes the family feel better then more power to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 -.- Its times like these im very much dislike this community. ITS A FREAKING SHARK. Why the hell are you guys arguing over the fate of a shark. That being said, it shouldn't be killed just because it was doing what it is meant to do, kill and eat its pray".

megakiller32 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thats actually ----. Seriously. I mean, hundreds of people die and get maimed by sharks a year, but this one kid? They could kill 100s of sharks, and its the own boys fault, he sound pretty damn stupid. #-o Quit Runescape 30th May 2006.Thanks to Hawkxs for my signature :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 On the side, to everyone say it's the kids fault. Hardly. It's not like actively went out to get half eaten by a shark, he's just out to have a bit of fun and such with his bro. If you were out camping with some of your family and a bear came and mauled one of you near to death, would you be like "it's a bear and we shouldn't have been there"? [cabbage] you would be.

Ok, so I'm annoying to other people, do they come along and kill me without caring? *shakes head slowly* Why should flies be any different? No because you probably contribute more to the world and people care about you and would probably mourn over your death. The fly on the other hand...

deloriagod Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I don't think the shark deserves to be killed. The shark didn't force the boy into it's territory. The ocean isn't our habitat. When you get in the ocean you're always taking the risk of getting bitten/stung by something. In Maui, more people are killed by coconuts falling on their heads than by sharks so should we start cutting down the trees that bear the coconuts because someone was stupid enough to sit under it?

Guest AshKaYu Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Ugh, I hate humans. Human kills bear for fun. It's a sport, he wins a medal. Bear kills human for food. It's cruel and ferocious, bear is killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1_man_army Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 A 15-year-old boy's life was saved when his brother and nearby bystanders took quick action after a shark bit off his right leg at a Western Australian beach. Zak Golebiowski, of Mt Gambier, was surfing with his 18-year-old brother 40 metres off Wharton Beach, 70km east of Esperance, at 7.40am (WST) when a five metre white pointer attacked him. Zak's right leg was bitten off by the huge shark, which also mauled and punctured his other leg, leaving it severely lacerated. But the quick-thinking actions of a New Zealand couple, his brother and a surfing mate saved his life, Esperance Police Constable Katrina Luke said. "If it wasn't for the efforts of his brother, friend and the New Zealand couple, he wouldn't be alive,'' Constable Luke said. "He is now in a serious but stable condition.'' They are now hunting down the shark and are going to kill it. Do you think it deserves to die? It's the boys fault for swimming in their territory, killing it is just stupid. Its not the sharks fault, its just what sharks do - the see something big enough, it looks like food - they have a bite. The shark was purely acting out of instinct not some sort of psychotic anti-human grudge. If people start to kill sharks because they eat things then they (along with all other meat eating animals) would have to be wiped out completely. You cant judge what animals do instinctively in the same way you apply laws to humans it idiotic. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runemetsa Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 TIF keeps amazing me. Even when everyone agrees that shark should not be killed, it still seems possible to argue about that. That kid didn't even die, and shark is just an animal. If a dog bites mailman, mailman's family doesn't want that dog to be killed. Yay?

Ragen Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 If they believe that this shark is going to turn into a Jawsesque monster who likes the taste of human blood, then and only then should they set the fishermen on it. Otherwise, it's no more of a threat than any other shark and therefore no more deserving of death. People who want to take out revenge on an animal are seriously [developmentally delayed]ed.

Viktorkrum77 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Yea, as I'm sure a 100 people have said already (I wouldn't know, I am too lazy to read the whole thread), don't kill the shark. It's shark nature, if us humans think we are above other animals, than we must take responsability, for they did not know. It's the boys fault, he should've known better. We have to work around nature, nature doesn't work around us. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Its really silly to take revenge on an animal. But on the other hand humans are really silly so its justifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riku3220 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 that shark doesn't deserve to die whatsoever! all it was doing was looking for a bit of food and the kid was just unlucky and thats no reason to kill it, the kid didn't even die!!! why is it that when a shark kills a sel no one cares but when a shark hurts a human its treated like a criminal?

speedofsound Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Sharks think everything is food. Their eyesight is horrible so they rely a lot on senses to find food ans such. So if they are say bighting your boat it's because their inner sonar bounced off the boat and hit them. Them thinking anything solid that bounces off at them is food don't know any better and try to attack it. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

Fortress2000 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 The shark shouldn't be killed. It's not like it's totally unusual behaviour for them. Well, I forget where I saw it, but sharks don't natuarlly attack humans. From the view that they see from under the water, a normal swimmer would just look like a very large turtle to them, and just another meal. However, the more agressive sharks may attack anything at all, even it's own species. Writing in colour was fun while it lasted...The Tip.It.

apinagez Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Shark populations aren't like human populations. If you kill a shark, it won't be taken as a example by the other sharks. They won't think twice before they eat that yummy surfer leg because one of their fellows was sentenced to death penalty because they did the that. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kid didn't even die, and shark is just an animal. If a dog bites mailman, mailman's family doesn't want that dog to be killed. Yay? Not always. Dogs that are like that are put down either by the victim's family or even by the neighbors if they have enough evidence of the dogs' violence. It's a huge risk if you just leave alone a dog that has a violent history. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to want to protect any living organism out there. What about an amoeba? Would you feel bad if you accidentally stepped in a puddle with some green lichen living in it? How about kicking a mushroom? Or eating vegetables? They're innocent living organisms too. How about we stop eating/killing anything that has cells to peace in its highest form? Back to the topic. There's no reason to kill the shark. It's a waste of time. If it really would make the family feel better, go ahead.
