Here is another stellar piece of journalism! The “Mail Online” has an article with the headline “The killers just off our shores”
Now what creature do you think they are talking about? Shark diving, swimming with sharks,
…. yep, a blue shark. In the article they state two things.
1 “The recent heatwave is thought to have brought killer blue sharks closer to the coast of Cornwall than ever before”
and
2 “Swimmers aren’t in danger from these sharks. They are highly unlikely to bite humans.”
Hmmm, say what? Killer blue sharks that are not a danger to swimmers!? Now I know about sensationalistic headlines, but contradicting your headline in your article seems to be something any self respecting journalist should avoid!
The article also has plenty of pictures of those “killers”, calmly swimming amongst humans.
The article also incorrectly states that 4 people have been killed by blue sharks in the last 5 years. According to the international shark attack files, there have been 5 fatal bites since 1910! So aside from contradicting his own headline, the author shows a complete lack of interest in getting his stats correct.
