gingembre says:

"Conservation group, The Shark Trust, said Steve got what he deserved because he attacked the fish.

Spokesman Richard Pierce said: “When you’ve stuck a hook in something’s mouth and dragged it through the water and put it on a boat, you’ve basically attacked the shark. If the shark accidentally bites you, it’s hardly its fault.”
