It is absolutely horrendous how many sea creatures are killed.Humans have already decimated the king crab population, and they are foolish enough to think that a one or two year moratorium of NO harvesting is going to restore the population
Rat is sort of right. The problem is figuring out which 10 sharks those are. When a shark attacks a human, authorities seem somewhat lazy about figuring out which specific shark that is. With drones, it can be done.
No shark would want to eat or be able to digest a disgusting filthy rodent like Rat. If anything, he’ll kill them before they have the chance to kill him.
We are not the top of the food chain while in the ocean. That is a cautionary warning. Rat will not be eaten by a shark, because he is avoiding the ocean.
We don’t just kill them. We “fin” them. We catch them, cut off the fins, and then throw them back in the water, alive, in agony and bleeding, where they will die slowly of blood loss, infection, or starvation. Starvation occurs because they can no longer swim properly and therefore cannot feed well. We do this somewhere between 75 and 100 million times a year. We are such a sweet species!
Goat, your “stats” are inflated by 99,000,000 just to fit your narrative. But that’s ok because nobody ever checks these things and blindly accepts everything you say.
check out any of the Netflix “Our Planet” documentaries to learn how and why we must do better to save our planet, including the oceans within the next 12 years or it could be too late.
In 2022 there were almost 43,000 people killed in traffic mishaps in the US alone, but no one thinks twice about getting into a car & going out on the road.

Between 2011 and 2017, 259 people died while taking a selfie, as opposed just to just 50 shark-related deaths in the same time span.

Under ordinary circumstances, I would also wish that they eat him. However, we need Rat for the humour that he provides.

I have heard that vending machines kill more people per year than sharks.
Forget shark-infested waters. Vending machine-infested waters are the true danger.
