Oh yeah. Don't you think that one of the greatest conservatories in the world (Monterey bay) would be able to gauge how the shark is reacting to humans? They're not going to release an animal which is dangerous.

But since we now have a great white out there that associates people with food, I wouldnt be surprised if we saw more attacks, but I dont think we'll see a rise in shark deaths (since we still taste bad).

I've heard something similar, but they specified that a human paddling a surfboard looks like a seal from underneath (to a shark). But yeah, compared to a seal humans are pretty boney, and relatively flavourless. I don't imagine the surfboards taste very good either.

so if its used to being hand-fed, and it comes up to a beach where people are swimming and playing etc.., wouldn't it be asking for a treat or begging or something?
if it were in the water next to me and begging, i know i sure as hell wouldn't give it food with my hand. would you?upgrade fund: $145

Where I come from, people eat seals. It is just about the richest, strongest tasting meat you can imagine, and not for the weak of stomach. Humans (supposedly) taste like pork.

So the shark knows people, maybe he associated them as friendly also, if so, I see some weird aquaman thing going on and people riding him, or even worse, Amusement park based around "THE NON-MAN EATING SHARK!!"

Does that not strike you as a possibility that this thing may equate humans with food
theres never been a single instance of a shark eating a person
shark bites kill because of blood loss
we may look like seals, but we certainly dont taste like them (hmm lemme find out... ow.... nope, not good at all.)

Bah. One great white. Some of the South Florida beaches were just closed because of hundreds of sharks. We win.
