Text SHARKATTACK to 40649 and sign the pledge!🦈
or we could let an unnecessary danger to swimmers die.
No the fuck we can’t. Because last I checked humans don’t own the fucking ocean, and last I checked, they’re IMPORTANT apex predators, a super necessary part of the ecosystem. Not to mention NEW YORKERS bite 10x as many people as sharks do a year. More people die from lightning and fireworks than form sharks.
Sharks aren’t a problem. They never have been. People are.
if you swim where the sharks are, it’s on you buddy, the animal gotta eat you don’t gotta swim
To @keyhollow let sharks die naturally, don’t go hunting them. Last I checked there’s no such thing as an important apex predator. Why on Earth are New Yorkers biting people? Know what we did to lightning? We found ways to deal with them. I’d say firework damage is usually from stupidity.
To @jeza-red so nobody can enjoy the beach now. The animal doesn’t got to eat innocent bystanders that are definitely not fish.
I’m gonna ignore 95% of that and focus on the apex predator part.
They’re super important because they control prey animal populations, of prey animal populations get out of control it can heavily and possibly irreversibly damage flora, other fauna, and land. A keystone predator is literally irreplaceable
A “keystone predator” is nowhere near irreplaceable.
Do you know what keystone means??
First off, calling something a keystone predator is erroneous at best. Second, keystones can be replaced.
No
You literally just have no idea what you’re talking about.

Sharks play a critical role in keeping our oceans healthy and in balance because most shark species are at the top of the marine food web.
The Importance of Sharks
@miasmicsiren If you’re too stupid to read adult content, there’s even a children’s book on the subject!
Cherrypicking sources from shark apologists won’t work for you either.
Ah yes. “Shark apologists”. Those who defend the problematic behavior of *checks notes* preserving species and protecting the ecosystem.
What’s with all these bitches who saw Jaws once and feel like every shark needs to die
What in the fuck is this bitch talking about “Keystone predators can be replaced” WHAT
I’m still stuck on “Shark Apologist”
Reblog if you’re a Shark Apologist
Shark apologist checking in. What the living fuck is this thread?
The more I think about this, the funnier it gets. Because of where I live, there is a somewhat decent chance that I will be killed by sharks….
I am exponentially more likely to contract and then die from fucking ancient shark fungus than a shark attack.
Please don’t fuck the ancient shark fungus
Hm. Yeah, I worded that poorly. I promise I will not fuck the ancient shark fungus.
Sharks are like humanity’s first and last line of defense against the horrors that god abandoned in the ocean.
We kind of need them.
Sharks are smooth beautiful creatures (or smooth and ugly as sin in the case of the goblin shark)
When even the objectivists are going “sharks are necessary” you know you fucked up.
“Shark Apologists“
Ooft.
Go and support your local shark initiatives and charities, people. They’re noble creatures.
Spread the Shark word and love for all!
