Pro surfer Mick Fanning fends off attacking shark during J-Bay Open

[The Joker]

Three-time world champion Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark during the J-Bay Open Sunday off South Africa, prompting organizers to cancel the competition.

Fanning, 34, was not injured but video footage shows the shark emerging behind and splashing beneath him, as he senses what’s happening and scurries around to avoid being bitten, eventually falling from his surfboard.

Thats why we need shark hunting. They're too many sharks out there.

Leave shark alone. No need to cut their fin for soup then trash the whole body into ocean.

We are in their territory.

I surf once every week, and I know there are dangerous sharks out there, and I'm taking my risk.

Death rate occur:

Shark attack 1 in 3748064 vs. Auto accidents 1 in 84


Then you should kill your car.

Leave the sharks alone.... their population has been significantly declining due to fishing for fin soup and meats.

We all know sharks are in trouble. We talk about the dramatic declines in shark populations, a result of high catch rates for shark fin, and as bycatch in fisheries targeted at other species. But what is the data these statements are based on? How are such declines calculated?

I agree , I was rooting for the shark .

Y'all just don't get it. One day when you're at the beach and then you decide to go for a swim and then when shark bites you you'll change your mind about them. The reason why you love sharks cause it hasn't happened to you or your loved ones yet

I agree. Too many bankers around.....

It would cost too much money to put a fence 300 feet away from beach to prevent sharks from attacking swimmers. Thats why we need shark hunting.
