I think it's good we're trying to keep people safe. However, the sharks shouldn't be killed unless they are actually trying to harm someone. Sometimes they mean no harm, it's unfair to kill them if they're not actually doing anything.

Get folks *off* those beaches. As for whether we should be on their menus, well how's this: They can simply bite off an arm & make arm soup, then the rest of the human back on shore. That'd be fair! ;)

Use your head, don't go swimming if there are sharks! It's THEIR home.

Save the sharks! It's their home, not the humans. I think they should leave the sharks alone!

The sharks are the ones that live there--humans are essentially invading their home and expecting to be given precedence. Here's a better solution: if you are worried about the potential danger of sharks in the water DON'T GO IN.

This infuriates me! You are taking a risk when you get into the water, sharks are simply looking for a meal and they don't deserve to be murdered to appease people. There are many dangers in the ocean but you don't go killing everything that could potentially harm you. Stupid!

When we go into the ocean we're entering the shark's home! It's not okay to kill them!

How about we capture and kill humans who go too close to sharks or kill them? It's the same thing but since humans think we are the supreme rulers of the land of course it's the shark's fault for using its instincts.
