I’ve had thresher shark at a restuarant. It was awesome. I don’t understand why Gunnar thought it was disgusting. Shark is the closest sea food in taste to steak. He must hate steak also.

I could eat shark everyday and feed the scraps to my cats.

Also, I scuba dive. I’ve never had to keep an eye out for cats. I’m just sayin’

Literary references to sharks are few, but at least one classic is from Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, where the sharks eat the marlin the old guy caught. Also, in Jack London’s Sea Wolf, a shark bites of Cookie’s foot.

By the way, white sharks are not among the ocean’s least discriminating eaters. While tiger sharks have a bit of reputation for eating a wide variety of things (including trash, reportedly), great whites tend to be fairly finicky eaters.

Nearly of these can be voided if you include big cats, which you absolutely should if you’re including all shark species. I mean there are tiny sharks, like the size of housecats, or even smaller. (http://www.fishbase.org.cn/Photos/PicturesSummary.php?ID=680&what=species) Not to mention that all sharks are easy to run over with some sort of aquatic vehicle, say… a boat?

Additionally, while shark is tasty, as I’m sure cat is, people don’t really hunt cats, cause they’re just too bad ass.

That said, I like how defensive people get over stuff like this. It’s obviously a joke. Cats are way better than sharks. :)
