What do you think?

I'm torn. I can see the sport side of it, and If I'm not against hunting and fishing other game, I could be hypocrite for condemning this. But, sharks are an extremely vital part of the ocean's ecosystem and are in danger already. I don't know if they still do it, but I've seen reports (and I think I remember seeing a movie) of Japanese fisherman cutting off the fins of sharks and tossing the rest of the shark back into the water. Also, attacks can sometimes spark shark hunts, for some sort of "revenge". It seems sharks are in danger in many parts of the world.

Yeah, sharks aren't cute and cuddly, but they're important. I just thought this was a break from the typical here in CE.

You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces.

Was I the only one who read that story thinking it was going to end with the shark asking for 'bout tree fiddy?

I have reliable intelligence that sharks have been in contact with high ranking members of Al Quada and have been hiding oceanic WMDs. We must go in there and eradicate them.
