This is exactly why I don't understand those people who are pro killing sharks just because people have been killed by them. It was us who entered their home and we have no right to kill every species that threatens us :/ we'd have no animals left

It's about survival, something we definitely have the right to. Sharks kill humans, so we kill sharks to prevent human deaths. It's irrelevant whose "home" the ocean is, and not every species threatens us, in fact most don't.
Would it be irrelevant if someone walked into your house to study you, take pictures of you, and basically invade your life? If someone did that to me without a damn good just cause, then I'd kill them as well. Sharks have survival instincts as well. They are hunters. They kill to eat. They do not kill for sport, like humans do. We are humans, but we are more inhumane than any other species out there. Think before you speak next time.
I agree with novelus. I don't think that just because we have a survival instinct, it gives us the right to kill animals. Also, we've killed Sharks needlessly so does that mean those Starks can kill us to prevent their deaths, right? No, it just becomes a snowball of confusing revenge on eachother.

"Would it be irrelevant if someone walked into your house to study you, take pictures of you, and basically invade your life?"
No, because I am self-aware, whereas a shark's brain is virtually redundant. My home is an actual home, sealed off from the outside when I want it to be, a shark's "home" is a vast open expanse covering most of the planet. Apples and oranges.
"We are humans, but we are more inhumane than any other species out there."
When humans kill other animals we try to make it as quick and clean as possible. Other animals are perfectly happy to tear another animal apart and eat it while it's still alive, or mortally wound it and then follow it until it slowly and painfully bleeds to death. Humans are in fact the most humane killers.
"Think before you speak next time."
Ditto.

No, it's the right to our own lives that gives us to the right to kill things attempting to kill us.
" Also, we've killed Sharks needlessly so does that mean those Starks can kill us to prevent their deaths, right?"
We have not killed sharks needlessly, the whole point of killing sharks is to thin their numbers around coastal areas to the point where they are no longer a threat to people.
"No, it just becomes a snowball of confusing revenge on eachother."
It's not about revenge, as I said in my first reply it's about survival: they are a threat to us, so we remove the threat.
Okay Norman, I can see that by now their is no way novelus and I can convince you of our perspective on this. It's just useless to argue at this point :)
