On a side note, my wife and I were sitting on our deck in Garden City SC 8-10 years ago and there was a commotion at the beach. Very shortly we heard someone yell "CALL 911"!!! 15-16-ish year old boy was bitten in the thigh by a shark. My wife, an Asst Nurse Director for the Cleveland Clinic made it, along with others, to the kid just in time. Beach towel as a tourniquete(spelling?), etc, etc, etc. Ironically, it made it onto one of the "Shark Week" shows. Discovery Channel??? Here's the article. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article31706378.html

My blushing bride (of 40 years) and I just got back from our noonish afternoon walk with our miniature Schnauzer.
Approx 200 feet up in the sky, 3 Bald Eagles circling, gliding, and looking for some lunchtime vittles.
A spine tingling sight to say the least.👍

It was I believe three years ago I went to Cleveland to visit family. Drove up from Atlanta.
While there I went fly fishing for steelhead on the Chargrin river in Gates Mills. I was right below the house Bob Feller once owned.
I was in the river wading and watched an eagle fly all along the river. It was a beautiful sight. I lived nearby there as a kid and never saw anything like that. It was a sight to behold.

Have a nineteenth century mentality, maybe an eighteenth century menatlitiy toward these things like, bears, deer, wolves, eagles, and sharks, because if Man still hunted them, every time they saw them, then these animals would be a little bit more leery of attacking humans or even hanging around where humans are.
It's a win win, keep the wild in wildlife.
I wish the government would attack sharks on sight, b/c therefore, there would be a lot fewer attacks of humans by sharks. Sometimes I think by the things you say you’re trolling people. Either that or you’re like 13yrs old.
