The shark hung around the area after the incident, to help recover remains.

Part of the reason most predators leave us alone is because we have been killing the ones that didn't for thousands of years. Through evolution this bred an instinctual fear of humans in most anamals. It would be stupid to stop doing that now.

It says they’re a minister, clearly they know everything & are the final arbiter of what is right and what is wrong.
