The only upsetting part of this story is the fact that they thought it necessary to pull it out just to take a photo for the kiis. Kind of pointless, but at least there wasn't a human life at stake this time.

You have GOT to be kidding me. Quit watching Jaws and Sharknado and actually spend a few hours watching Shark Week next month. Educate yourself. Sharks rarely kill people. You are more likely to be killed by lightning and/or a tornado than by a shark.
Sharks specifically target weak and injured prey. The only shark species that are really concerning are:
- Bull Shark
- Tiger Shark
- Great White Shark
- Oceanic White Tip
This shark is neither of those. Also, most shark attack fatalities (particularly the Great White) is a result of the shark doing an investigation bite to see what the hell the person is, then they let go and leave the scene because they're not interested. Great whites really do not like humans because we're too bony and they prefer fat-rich prey. However, the bite is very intense and most shark fatality victims die from blood loss from a bite, rather than because the shark was going for the kill.
