I mourn the loss of anyone's life - but as it has been said - this fuels the fires to make sharks extinct.... I can't imagine what will happen at that point.

Back in the day, (1970s) when I did a lot of diving around the world, I hardly remember a time I'd get underwater and NOT see several sharks per dive. Today it's rare unless I'm somewhere like Palau.
No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.
