      Rich great white sharks, always keeping down the common shark folk like the shovel nose and the hammer head. Honourable mention to the grey nurse shark.

    The American Sportfishing Association, the American Fisheries Society, and others rightly upset about sharks’ indefensible habit of consuming their usual source of protein, complain “shark depredation is clearly detrimental to anglers and predated fish that would otherwise be released.” They point out all that illicit predation “creates an unnatural food source for sharks.”

    The sharks would argue fish are, in fact, their entirely natural food source, but if it comes to a choice between those toothy behemoths and a $230 billion industry, the sharks lose.

    Shades of wolf reintroduction lol
