he's mad, I really do have to question anyone encouraging predators to associate humans with food, especially with a very aggresive species such as bull sharks.

 

I watched a similar program where they dived with bull sharks off the florida keys, these were experienced "mad" divers who'd dived with great whites, alligators and other such animals without any particular problem, but with the Bull Sharks things seemed to get a little hairy, and they were very relieved to make it back to the boat alive.

 

In Grand Bahama, there's a restaurant where they throw out food for nurse sharks and bulls, this is to attract the animals so that diners will pay extra to "dine with the sharks", some serious attacks could happen as the restaurant is next to a beach and someone may well one day decide to go for a drunken swim, in mid frenzy who knows what the sharks would do.

Ah yes,the much fabled Channel 5, it's all a rumour, there is no channel 5. :mad:

i watched the program last night, a guy feeding the sharks was attacked and a frenzy didn't start because the sharks don't recognise human blood.............

 

well in my view, the more idiots like this take these risks, the more they'll start to associate humans with food and once they do get used to the smell of our blood, we've got problems.
