[at-l] Respect For AT Wildness Values



Many shark species have been hunted for game and the cooking pots of
the world. Shark fin soup, for instance. There are concerns of possible
endangerment of Great Whites. Since sharks tend to feed near shoals and
breaking waves, shark attacks are a bit different than bear attacks. If
a bear is an intruder and behaves poorly, it will get relocated or
killed. The shark is simply taking advantage of an intruder entering
his dining room. I can conceive of reluctance to hunt down a shark,
although I'd be surprised if that persisted after a second attack.

Anyone else remember how big a crisis we had last summer with sharks
down in Florida?
