Humans are not part of shark diet and sharks do not hunt humans Most shark bites are cases of mistaken identity—where swimmers or surfers resemble seals or fish Yet Hollywood has never made one movie telling the true nature of sharks Spielberg made millions for portraying sharks as monsters

Humans like to spread propaganda about nature. People eat it up instead of doing their own research. Just like right wing Trump kissers. Critical thinking and brain development. People like nature as long as it's not near them. But then create their monsters with "shark feeding tours". Idiots.

Humans invade shark territory(ocean), interrupt primary feeding times and humans expect juvenile sharks to never make a mistake while feeding. Humans: Don’t swim during primary feeding times(late afternoon to early evening) Dont wear shiny jewelry or shiny bathing suits which look like fish scales.

I live in Australia and have friends who are swimmers and surfers. Sharks are a very real threat. Three people die from shark attacks each year in Australia and that is even with all the precautions (avoiding high risk areas, evacuations on shark sightings, hunting down maneaters).

This is kind of true, except you can't blame Spielberg for the fear of sharks, it's been that way forever. Asians kill millions of sharks every year, they cut their thins off alive throw them back into drown so they can make soup. This isn't about Spielberg it's about stupid fucking humans

Peter Benchley, who wrote Jaws, always regretted the effect his novel and the subsequent film had on popular imagination. He became a dedicated conservationist, sadly his original work always drowned out any subsequent efforts.

I saw a doc many years ago. One researcher was convinced ppl with tattoos have a higher chance of being bitten. He chatted with a few survivors and they were bit on the tat. He felt that underwater, it looks like a specific fish to the shark. I dont recall what kind tho.

Ecuador is a disgraceful country. #oceans #environment #sharks They have been doing this for decades and it is just getting worse. A total of 1.3 tons of dry shark fins were seized by Peruvian authorities bordering Ecuador, without documentation to prove their origin. 1.3 tons (1300 kilograms)

Lots of nature shows teach us about sharks. Maybe, promote some of them so people can educate thenselves?

Most people sympathize with sharks as much as they do with rattlesnakes.

Sharks need to start getting those numbers up. I’m sure they can do better, they just have to want it like humans want novelty teeth and mediocre soup

My daughter was doing reef conservation class in Little Cayman & was lucky enough to see a Hammer head shark, something people who'd been there for years hadn't seen. Movies get so much wrong, like huge piranhas eating living things. Animals find their niche & stay there until their forced out.

merrygl.bsky.social @merrygl.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Yep. I wish more people would watch Shark Week or any other documentaries about sharks so they would learn some truth. If you swim in the ocean and look like prey to a predator, chances are you could be bitten. Killing them just to use their fins for food is terrible too. ✌️💙

You can't make money off a movie about sharks just swimming and accidentally biting people 🤦‍♂️ besides that would be the most boring ass thing to watch. Jaws may be fake but at least it was an awesome movie

That's fucked up, 12 per year is way way too many. Get rid of all the sharks

Katherine Porter @katherinepr.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Spielberg regrets making the film because of it’s effects on sharks. Sharks are the kings of the ocean - humans should treat them with respect. The shark fin trade is sickening. Last week 50000 illegal shark fins were found in car parts boxes. We must do more to protect sharks.

You have no idea how many people sharks kill per year. An estimates 10k people disappear at sea or beaches every year. You don't know that sharks are not eating them.

Per capita that's actually probably less than shark hunting Orca. (Yes, Industrial fishing of sharks is fucked) 2 orca have killed so many sharks off South Africa that it's legit affecting tourism. Up to an observed 20 per day... Per orca!

I'm not sure I'd blame Spielberg so much as a moronic WORLD audience. I mean, it was a huge hit. But that film sparked interest in the curious hoi-poloi and some good teachers. There are more than enough sources of information about the wonders of sharks & their part in the ecosystem.

Isn't Jaws a vintage movie from many decades ago? What kind of loser is still fixated on such an ancient film?

Dr. Kimm @drkimm.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

when a shark swims up to a human and checks him out then turns to one side and swims away, that IS a shark attack. that human was 30 seconds from dismemberment or death. sharks need to hunt off-shore not in the shallows, if they want to live.
