Fucking INSANITY!

Its too bad it died though, I would think it a great historical oppurtunity to see it in person :(

Thats fuckin crazy. I saw that on cnn.com yesterday. I turned on CNN and saw the video! There were people swimming with it before it died. That is some crazy shit. Not that its some kind of maneater (which it isn't) but just looking at it, youd have to be crazy to get in the water with it.

I read that this was the only living one ever seen. They have been seen before, but they were dead and caught in fishing nets and whatnot.

seen it yesterday... they say it was in poor health when they got it, but i bet if they woulda just let it be it would have been fine.... human invervention is probably the main reason why species dissapear off the earth daily...

i believe the report said it was the only one filmed alive, not the only one seen alive..

Well, in mankinds defense, the shark lives 2000 feet under the water. They speculated that it was fixing to die anyway....or was actually dying because it was lost in shallow waters (where they found it).

I don't think humans have much affect on conditions 2000 feet under the ocean.

[slipknotpsycho]

yeah they don't.. but c'mon, you know as well as i do, it's meddling with other species that dissapear for good... the only species i know anything about that's dissapeared (i'm not too much into animals and shit) is the dodo bird, and that was becasue we hunted them all til extinction...

International Wolf Center (http://www.wolf.org/wolf/learn/iwmag/2001/win2001/win2001d3.asp)

In the year 2000, scientists estimated that at least one species of plant or animal goes extinct every 20 minutes—that's 26,280 species that disappear every year!

just to give you an idea how many we lose every year...

and on a side note the only 2 species that i've ever heard we've meddled with that were endangered that we didn't end up wiping out completely is the panda and the bald eagle..

[ValkyrieAg]

You mean Kevin Costner?
Hmm....

Perhaps the shark committed suicide after a Kevin Costner movie.

[ValkyrieAg]

Yeah, I know how many critters we lose. Its really is amazing.

But the dinosaurs went extinct too, and the world still spins.

[slipknotpsycho]

meh, i just think humans are destroying earth.. well it'll still be here... but doesn't mean we have to take down everything with us other then the planet... that's just my stance...

we've been the most detrimental and destructive animal yet...

[ValkyrieAg]

Well I don't think its the destructive nature of man, as much as it is the CRAZY number of mouths we create.

Only so many people can inhabit this earth. I am a wide open space person, I can't handle the rat race of a big city. I have to have room to breathe and move around. I am definately not a gated community kind of guy, I think its sort of gay, but I do wish the USA was a gated community.

That is an amazing looking animal, but they should have just left it alone. Finding a sick animal and taking it out of it;s natural environment to be put on display, only stresses them out and that weakens their immune systems even more.

I'm sure if they would have just let it be, it might have survived, but no, us stupid humans have to take it back with us to try and make a buck from it.

[smoke it]

shit.... crazy shark

[slipknotpsycho]

meh, it's a lot uglier in video lol...

[benagain]

Wicked looking shark. I'd like to see a healthy one fuck something up with all those teeth.

That's the most dumbass thing ive ever heard....thought you such a smart 'pothead'

So humans have no effect on the ozone layer, ice caps, etc. Your outta your mind.

YES mankind is killing the earth.
