We are physically weak compared to many other animals who have superior physical strength. We our only formidable due to our weaponry but take that away and we are no different than a vulnerable deer who can easily get preyed on by a hungry grizzly bear. The audio of Timothy Treadwell getting eaten alive by a bear still haunts me.

The thing is that 1) There's not enough scientific evidence to prove the behavior you're mentioning. 2) You are ignoring the fact that shark attack chances are almost inexistent. 3) You are ignoring the fact that he was trespassing on a marine ecosystem where wild animals live and some risks are always. - Would you react the same way if a whale breached and landed on top of a boat and killed/injured some tourists that were trespassing in their habitat? Would you hunt it down and kill it just because it acted instinctively in its habitat? Is that really fair? And talking about fairness, how can we act outraged and heartbroken for ONE death caused by humans not respecting nature when we are exploiting, murdering, and abusing animals (human and non-human) and destroying our planet with our individual and collective actions? 1
UnusualBoy Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) This is sad but there aren't signals of no swimming or so nearby? if there's a tiger shark swimming around, they should've put those to prevent these type of things. Now there's poor dead man and dead shark (And who knows if it was the same that killed the boy) Edited June 9, 2023 by UnusualBoy

MotoPapi Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I wish I didn’t watch this. I only clicked play because I thought it was a fake video. So horrible. RIP to this poor man.

What is your point? How can we act heartbroken over a death? Very easily actually. Some of us care about other people. This death was caused by humans not respecting nature?! He was ******* swimming at a beach. Newsflash: Humans can swim. The shore is also our territory. Why are you pinning all of mankind’s sins on this poor man? Are you going to say the same when your loved ones who eat meat, drive cars, etc. die? Also, do you mind sharing what activism you’ve done for the other 100,000,000 sharks that were murdered the last year? Or do you only stick up for the 1 that killed a human? 4

Any loss of life is tragic. But I strongly abhor when people use those tragedies to justify mass slaughter of animals as if that solves anything. Nowhere did I say anything “anti-human”. 1

I'm not actually, I already said this was a tragedy and of course no one deserves to suffer what that guy and their family did. I also care about people, and yes, I always try to make my loved ones question their own habits in order to stop being a walking contradiction. Some people like to discuss and enrich/rethink their ideals, some don't. Ignoring the fact that our behavior towards nature and other beings isn't contradictory is not my cup of tea. It's morally wrong considering we are the most intelligent and skilled specie in the world, we can do better. Regarding my activism... There's no correlation between what my actions for "defending sharks" vs. what I'm stating here. 1
Mezik Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 They killed the shark, because the man made a conscious decision to swim in an area habited by sharks, thinking there would be no consequences? Darwinism at its finest. Poor shark probably was brutally killed too for being in its natural habitat. 2
spiritboy Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 He was a magnificient beast though, i think he was at least 3.5 meters long. 1 1
