[QUOTE="STM, post: 167672, member: 12827"] I am only going on what was reported in our local paper, since I was not there when it happened. We don't refer to the Pensacola News Journal as the "mullet wrapper" for nothing! Regardless, the two attacks in a month were tied to fishermen on our pier chumming the water while shark fishing. There were no attacks before that, and none afterwards once it was banned. Still, I side unequivocally with the sharks on this one. When we go swimming in the ocean we are venturing into THEIR world, not the other way around. Our habitat ends at the shoreline. We are the strangers in THEIR land. And you have to assume the risks of doing so. And when you do stupid s**t that places yourself at risk, then you are the one to blame, not the shark. Sharks don't think, they rely on instinct. We on the other hand, are capable of making decisions, both good and bad, and have to live with the consequences. [/QUOTE]
