Man at the Top of the Food Chain, never informed the Sharks!

You know when you enter the "Ocean's Menuboard", as the "Entree Du Jour" what do you expect? You are now part of the Food Chain, and as such, not at the Top of the Food Chain anymore. Hence Fair Game!

ACAPULCO, MEXICO -- A shark injured a 49-year-old American surfer yesterday off the Pacific coast of Mexico, in the third attack in a month.

The Mexican Navy deployed personnel to warn people about sharks at beaches in Zihuatanejo, a resort northwest of Acapulco.

A day earlier, a 21-year-old Mexican surfer was killed by a shark off a nearby beach. The two attacks came a month after a shark killed a San Francisco man surfing in the same area.

Local Civil Protection director Jaime Vazquez Sobreira said the American attacked yesterday lost his thumb but managed to get to a hospital on his own and was in stable condition.

Thanks Azzay for visiting and the GS flag.

Why people are surprised they get eaten when entering known waters to be inhabited by sharks, I guess much like Tobbacco Ads stating the dangers of Smoking, our Oceans should have a disclaimer stating
Welcome to the Oceans Food Chain, "If you enter these waters, you will be eaten"!

Barry Artiste, I like this story. It's good stuff. I actually read about this third shark attack from you, the media is not talking about it much here in Mexico except that some beaches are being closed down.
