5. That's it exactly.

Sometime last year, I think, I read an article about a group of people who are shark-attack survivors, who have gotten together to work for the conservation and protection of sharks. A FEW people get it, at least.

6. You people know nothing about shark biology...

Sharks... especially Great Whites... like fat. They take seals and other fatty creatures. More bang for the buck.

They have turned to people in the US because we're sucking down more Big Macs and fries.

Sharks find the taste of human flesh fattened on Peanut Butter Snickers irresistible. I saw it on TV, so it must be true.
