Obviously this is unrealistic and intended to be unrealistic, but it reinforces the negative and false idea that sharks like to eat humans
Won't someone please think of the sharks??
No, seriously. Quit killing them.
Like to eat humans? Probably. Do eat humans? Definitely.
No, they like actually don't.
The shark attacks on record have happened because for some reason or other the animal mistook the human for a prey species, or was provoked in some way. And even then, statistically speaking, shark-on-human attacks basically don't happen.
In actuality, sharks will generally just ignore human swimmers and divers. Most of the time we neither look nor smell like food to them.
