You are saying that there is an acceptable number of people that can be killed by sharks.

The same sort of reasoning is used by the pit bull people. Eg. the occasional four year old gets his face ripped off by a pit bull, we should accept that because most pit bulls are peaceful and poodles bite people too.

Just wondering how you set your cutoff number.

Five people a year is OK.

How many people a year would need to be killed by sharks before you would object?

Just wondering.
So i guess what your getting at is that if we can kill 2,000,000 sharks a year then sharks killing 2,000,000 of us would be acceptable in your eyes. So they have a lot for work ahead of them to catch up to us i guess poor sharks are only at 5/year.
