See this?:
It says that sharks are worth a lot more alive than dead, since they attract so much tourism money to out-of-the-way places. It’s just that the mass-killings of sharks for shark fin soup are endangering them. You see, they claim that people all want to come see the sharks in their natural habitat, and it’s so beautiful, etc. Yeah, right!
Look, we all know what’s really going on here: these island guys are tired of getting eaten by their local sharks, so they’re trying to get tourists to come and get eaten instead! Then they can go diving for pearls, or splash around in the water, or whatever they want to do, and they don’t have to worry about shark attacks. Obviously what’s been happening is that people are getting wise to this ruse, so they had to drag out the old “poor sharks” sob story. Once they get the hippie environmentalists to feel all warm and fuzzy about the sharks, it’s only a matter of time before they all come scuba diving to see them. And, of course, that’s when they all get eaten! You see? It’s all a plot to feed tourists to the sharks!
I’m on to them, man! They’re just using us for chum, bait, and shark food! You know it’s true! I wouldn’t go there, and neither should you, if you want to live. Haven't you seen Jaws?
