Why not kill all sharks?

Question

Yes, Howard Stern talked about this before so I give him full credit. Sharks are useless and kill us. Why not kill all of them, at least the really bad ones: Great Whites, Bull Sharks, Tiger sharks. At least start with those. The liberal tree huggers will say "IT UPSETS NATURE'S BALANCE!!!" Screw nature's balance. I don't want my damned weenie bit off when I go swimming.

Unbelievable how many people are willing to defend vicious soulless man-eaters. Let's hear from some shark attack victims.
I'm not interested in banning power tools. I want to swim without losing a leg.

Answer 1

You're far, far more likely to die in your own bathroom than by shark attack, even if you swim in the most dangerous waters in the world.

Sharks account for fewer deaths than...well, just about any cause of death, really.

From the link below:

In the U.S., your chances of dying from a lightning strike are 30 times greater than dying of a shark attack.
Bees, wasps, and snakes kill more people each year than sharks.
During the 1990s, vehicular collisions with deer were responsible for 30 deaths per year in the U.S.
During the 1990s, dogs were responsible for 18 deaths per year in the U.S.
During the 1990s, snakes were responsible for 15 deaths per year in the U.S.
During the 1990s, mountain lions were responsible for 0.6 deaths per year in the U.S.
During the 1990s, sharks were responsible for 0.4 deaths per year in the U.S.
Worldwide, 4 shark deaths were reported in 2003, 3 in 2002 and 5 in 2001.

Answer 2

I'm restraining my self from saying something incredible rude right now so instead I'll just give you an answer. Sharks vary rarly attack of kill human you have a higher chance of being killed by a dog then being killed by a shark. They will only attack you if they smell blood or if you annoy them beyond belief. Also we would end up over run with the creatures sharks normally eat if we were to kill them all.

Answer 3

I think shark attacks are pretty low, compared to how many people kill others every year, or how many die in car crashes. I mean every day theres some kind of risk, should we kill all the stingrays now because Steve Irwin was stabbed by one?

Answer 4

no longer very regularly, in fact that's any opposite direction round. Sharks will attack and frequently eat dolphins. Dolphins will in certain situations attack a small shark and may want to be certain the version between the aggressive shark species and the non aggressive. even with the indisputable fact that that's unusual...

Answer 5

Answer 6

You know what? I am never one to degrade a question..but, honey..you are just plain stupid and I highly doubt more of you ignorant thinkers will come to your aide. We are never to kill any species just for our own comfort! May I royally suggest, since you have me so pissed, that you take off your trunks and go jump in a school of sharks and make both our species happy!!!

Answer 7

Then don't go swimming.

DO get an education & learn to think for yourself. I won't even bother trying to offer an intelligent & thoughtful answer to such an ignorant question, though I might have done so had you asked with real interest in the topic & with less ill-mannered tone of rudeness.

Answer 8

Why don't we kill all humans that fit a racial profile becuase they are ALL bad? Why don't we kill all Pitbulls and Rottweilers because everyone knows that every single dog of those breeds is going to attack a human. Lets just make a species stop to excist because we don't like it.
Your ignorance is shocking

Answer 9

Hmmm, when you swim in the water, you are on the shark's territory. If he comes on land, by all means kill him.

Answer 10

More people are killed by power tools lthan by sharks every year. You want to ban power tools?
