Q: There is a guy from Florida who just caught a 1000 pound hammerhead shark off the Florida coast. He was targetting female sharks, and that’s only worsening the situation. Mankind is so shamefully evil against other creatures that God put on this earth. Before long, we will only start to do in ourselves.The shark’s habitat is the ocean. We go into the habitat to swim, to fish, to do other things. We fish alright, by catching and killing sharks for shark fin soup, shark steaks, etc. Then we piss and moan when a shark attacks a human. It’s pretty hypocritical. Very rarely will a shark attack a human, compared to the incidence of a human attacking a shark. People act like the shark needs to just give up while we kill it for food. It’s really not right!
