bad news  :(

apparantly they carry millions of deadly bacteria in their mouths, so even if you survive the attack you are more likely to die from infection such as septicaemia

Perhaps they are losing their fear of man, or maybe there is a lack of their natural prey (whatever that is ?)

Yeah, well, this kind of thing tends to happen when humans encroach on the habitats of wild animals.  Was reading yesterday about the panic in LA a few years back following a spate of mountain lion attacks.  WTF did they expect when the build suburbs in the canyons and foothills of the San Gabriel, Santa Monica and San Bernadino mountains?  Funny thing is, the human reaction is usually well over the top about aggressive predators, blood-thirsty beasts etc. as though it were the animals encroaching on their territory rather than the other way around.

Not just sharks. Things like Minka whales are still hunted in Norway even though it is illegal.

:D

This would sum up my view on this.

Also a lil advice to fruit pickers, plant your own trees in your terrains and pick them. In the wild environment there are species with millions of years of evolution and self defence, including bacterias in the mouth.

I guess it's a human thing in history to convert animals in terrible evil beasts. We've done so with whales, sharks, snakes, wolves, bears and foxes. There's even literature about it. But it's just nature, and humans can die in the interaction of species like anybody else.

Its OK for you in living in Canada, you have only cuddly little Bears to worry about. In England we have fierce hedgehogs and savage rabbits roaming around. A few years ago I was badly mauled by a mouse, it even brought blood when it bit my finger.

Just yesterday I was trapped indoors for hours when squirrels invaded my garden hunting for food. Thankfully they moved on without attempting to break down my door....... this time.
