Tourist’s Hands Bitten Off by Shark in Photo Stunt Gone Wrong!

[Yellowtail]

I feel bad for the woman, but I think it's a situation where we see all kinds of videos of people interacting with sharks and whatnot and people just think it's okay.

 

I'm surprised there's not more of this stuff. 

 

It is a bit sad so many people think it's funny.

The mindless actions of some for the sake of a damn "selfie" or for Tiktok, youtube audiences is getting ridiculous.

 

Well, if she posts to Youtube she'll get a few millions hits.  If she monetizes, it may help with getting a couple of prosthetics.

Good idea then off to Africa in December for selfies with Lions, Elephants, Crocs and Hippos.

I few, like myself, think it's tragic, but at the same time you have to acknowledge that the stupidity of it makes you want to laugh out of a sense of the total absurdity.
Like shaking your head and laughing, but not because it's funny but because it's so ludicrous.

It is funny. She saw a deadly shark then walked or swam close to it. Would she do the same if a crocodile? No way. She must be dumb if does not realise sharks can kill.

 

A person being amputated of both their hands is anything but funny.

6' is small for a bull-shark and could easily have been mistaken for a reef shark.

Rule 1 in life. Dont approach dangerous animals unless you are a professional even then some die.

Why risk it if you don't know. Bull sharks are known to swim in shallow waters close to shore. They go into rivers in towns. A 3 foot shark swam near me once then swam away. I wasnt going to chase it. Likely a baby bull.

I feel bad for this lady.  But, what was she thinking?

Dumb guy. Lions hunt at night like tigers! They are most passive in the hot sun. Tiger Temple only allowed guests around middle of day. Zookeepers should know this. Lions went back to natural instinct of eating at night.

The shark was not attacking her, per se.

 

The shark just wanted the camera.

And, her hands got in the way.

 

 

Lures are shiny.

So are cameras.
