Good point, very true
Comment on Shark Week
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 months ago“Usually don’t do anything” is an understatement.
They’re not complex enough to waste energy on non-food object, though. Shark attacks are incredibly rare, and fatalities are less than a rounding error. But humans killing sharks, that is measurable in 9 digits annually.

Yeah its very sad. Also, when the sharks die, the entire eco system dies. Sharks are completely harmless(at least statistically). More people die from coconuts dropping on their heads than from shark attacks. Meanwhile we are actively extinguishing the entire shark population.

Coconuts, or even cows:

I didn’t even know that you had to look out for cows falling on your head. I’ll be extra careful next time I go to the countryside. Thanks for the tip.

Cows have the number advantage. How many people would die if we farm sharks like cows?
Wanna some shark milk?
