What do you think about sharks?

I know they are perceived as evil by many, but what do you think of sharks?

Sharks may be dangerous, but how can they be evil?

They have lots of teeth.

Only humans can be evil, sharks kill about 10 humans a year, humans kill about 100 million sharks every year. They still scare the daylight out of me though.

Why can only humans be evil if animals are also self aware? I've seen a cat kill a frog for the fun of it. He didn't eat it, he was definitely playing.

@adz A cat doesn't understand right and wrong, evil is onlt a concept, you consider that bad, the cat doesn't. It is only following it's nature. He doesn't understand life and death.

@Rugglesby How do you know? It's obvious that dogs feel shame. They show it.

@adz My point is evil is a personal judgement, what one person may call evil, another may not.

I'm curious as to why you're asking. So do you like or hate sharks? Have you been bitten? I was obsessed with them after Jaws. My dad bought me the coolest book about them and I read
that thing more times than I can count. They really are quite beautiful creatures. And nothing beats a fat shark steak on the grill with lemon pepper...yummmm

Sharks are scary.... if fresh water game fish were bigger they would be worst then sharks. Were very lucky that sharks like salt water better than fresh.

@MermaidSuzy888. Oh my.... thats terrible. I guess i can see i was wrong about the fresh water.
Thanks for the education...

Sharks don't perceive the concept of evil. It's a silly way to describe them. The are the best at what they do. ?

Perfect killing machines, thanks to evolution.

Ate dogfish in Spain; could not believe I got rid of so many when trying to catch salmon!

The same as hornets. Wonderful, awesome, fascinating creatures that could screw you up if they felt like it!

I think if you get into water where sharks are they will think you are food.

Their abilities as a killing machine is second only to humans. They never kill for sport and so may be kinder as well. I try not to put myself in situations that make me look like food.

They are necessary predators and generally stick to the food available in their territory...the ocean. We are in their environment and if we encounter them, we are the ones who need to be aware that we just are food...nothing more. As a certified diver, I have been around sharks all my life. I see them along the shore lines all the time when even the lifequards miss them...lifeguarded beaches need to learn about their migration, their feeding times, rogue sharks etc. but they don't and people are unaware and could get hurt...but seriously, your odds of being injured or killed by a shark is so tiny...you will die from texting while driving.

They are big fish. I swim/dive with them all the time. Unless I'm doing something to make myself look/smell like their regular pray I'm not worried at all about being bitten.

wow I would be ascared

I think people have a tendency to try and push human characteristics onto things that are not human. Sharks are just out there doing their sharkly things. As it has been said before, if some fool in a speedo came into my house I would attack them too.
