Sharks Developing Taste for Human Flesh

Jose Leonardo Castillo, chief shark investigator for Mexico's National Fishing Institute, proposed one theory for a recent spate of shark attacks in Mexico: the sharks have developed a taste for human flesh!

The beach at Zihuantanejo – near Acapulco and popular with British tourists – had not previously recorded a shark incident in more than 30 years.

And, with an annual average of only four fatal shark attacks globally, the fact that two people have died along the same stretch of coast within weeks has astonished international experts. [...]

They think the 10ft-long fish could have developed a taste for human flesh after devouring hundreds of corpses dumped into the sea by mobsters.

it's not that they have DEVELOPED a taste for human flesh considering human flesh is no different from other flesh. i mean, if we threw barrels of dead chickens into the ocean and the sharks came after them, would they be developing a taste for chicken? no. sharks eat, and if little timmy just happens to be dangling his tasty feet in front of a hungry mouth, he can't too surprised to feel a sharp and painful nibble.

Puts a whole new spin on 'chumming around'
