3. It is terrible

However, if it was somebody from Florida or California or elsewhere within the US, somebody would inevitably make a comment about how Americans are stupid or similar. (or, if it was a US citizen in South Africa instead of a British one)

6. The shark "is being monitored" is my favorite part of this.

They saw the shark, warned the human, stupid human jumped into the meatcase the shark shops from and gets bitten. Normally, when some dumbass human puts themselves in harms way of an animal, that animal gets hunted and killed along with any others that may simply look like that particular animal. Seems like that's not the case here.

Score one for humanity.

8. A shark doesn't want to eat people

however, sometimes people are mistaken for seals and other types of shark prey... and the shark takes a bite to find out. And, since sharks are often a lot bigger & heavier than humans, it can be fatal.
