Re: Diver killed by shark
I really don't know when people are going to learn.  Wild animals will always be wild animals, plain and simple.  No matter how well trained the handler or domesticated/tame the animal is assumed to be, there is just no telling what an animal will do at any given time.

Does anyone remember in 2003 when Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy was attacked by his own white tiger after he had been performing stunts on the Las Vegas strip for nearly 30 years? 

You figure you get away with it once or you get away with a million times...it doesn't matter because it only takes once to kill you. 

This also reminds me of those people who say about their own dogs "oh he doesn't bite...he's friendly."  Um yeah, next thing you know he takes off a 6 yr. olds left cheek and Fox 9 runs another "when animals attack" exclusive.  One group of citizen's calls for the animal to be euthanized while another cries foul for the animal's rights.  Meanwhile, the owner is inevitably shown on TV saying, "he's never done that before.  I don't know what got in to him, he is usually so friendly."  Well I will tell you what got into him...

DNA, Survival Instinct, Self-Defense, Owner Defense, Lack of an Escape Route, Fight/Flight, Hunger or he just plain felt like it.
Sooner or later you end up looking like a T-Bone. 

Diving with dangerous sharks without a cage is just begging for trouble and just plain stupid.
