or we could let an unnecessary danger to swimmers die.

No the fuck we can’t. Because last I checked humans don’t own the fucking ocean, and last I checked, they’re IMPORTANT apex predators, a super necessary part of the ecosystem. Not to mention NEW YORKERS bite 10x as many people as sharks do a year. More people die from lightning and fireworks than form sharks.

Sharks aren’t a problem. They never have been. People are.

if you swim where the sharks are, it’s on you buddy, the animal gotta eat you don’t gotta swim

To @keyhollow let sharks die naturally, don’t go hunting them. Last I checked there’s no such thing as an important apex predator. Why on Earth are New Yorkers biting people? Know what we did to lightning? We found ways to deal with them. I’d say firework damage is usually from stupidity.

To @jeza-red so nobody can enjoy the beach now. The animal doesn’t got to eat innocent bystanders that are definitely not fish.

I’m gonna ignore 95% of that and focus on the apex predator part.

They’re super important because they control prey animal populations, of prey animal populations get out of control it can heavily and possibly irreversibly damage flora, other fauna, and land. A keystone predator is literally irreplaceable

miasmicsiren

A “keystone predator” is nowhere near irreplaceable.

keyhollow

Do you know what keystone means??

miasmicsiren

First off, calling something a keystone predator is erroneous at best. Second, keystones can be replaced.

keyhollow

No

You literally just have no idea what you’re talking about.

@miasmicsiren If you’re too stupid to read adult content, there’s even a children’s book on the subject!

Cherrypicking sources from shark apologists won’t work for you either.

beckyhop

Ah yes. “Shark apologists”. Those who defend the problematic behavior of *checks notes* preserving species and protecting the ecosystem.
