Yeah, we dress up in black swimsuits, lie on a board, and paddle around with our arms and legs. To an animal like a shark, it looks like a seal, or something else which forms their diet.
@Masa: I'd have to agree with Magrus. I don't think our superiority over them means we have a right to use them as we want. To me, that kind of thinking reminds me of the original thought of colonisation, considering the native humans as 'uncivilised' and 'beast-like'. For this reason, terra nullius came to pass, and we continued to treat them like animals.
I don't think we have a right to impose our will upon others. I am by no means a vegetarian or anything like that, but I think it is the right of a stronger group to protect a weaker group, not to abuse them.
