Well, they are eating something and it's not going to be me.  When I visit son in Volusha County, I don't ask to go to the beach any more.  That 600 pounder they caught there in December scared me away.

It might also have something to do with the over fishing of sharks ( a few MILLIONS every year) for their fins (a delicacy in some parts) and because even more people have to fish sharks to feed their families due to the recession (lost of other jobs) and the lack of other fish left in the oceans...

The poor things. They must be miserable (more than usual)
I know how it is when I get a craving for hot wings.

I hope the sharks don't turn to the manatees instead.

Ha ha ha Naut - I'm quite glad the sharks aren't getting their usual diet of people.

It's all due to something or other.

I forget....exactly what good are sharks?  What do they contribute to the universe?  I can't decide how to feel about this bit of news until I know that........yes, it's come down to this...........of course, tomorrow's another day......and another study......

Poor sharks...
...first shark attacks were on the rise because over-fishing reduced their food supply, causing them to feed closer to land masses, i.e. beaches, etc. Then, people got wise and stopped going to the beaches. No wonder they're stressed out. lol

It's a good time to go to the beach and tease them with tuna sandwiches!
