This is possibly the first time in a very long time that you won’t be finding a lot of people swimming in the beach this weekend. The shark attack stories that have been covered by the big international news networks have placed Seychelles under a very negative light. This scares the crap out of the people abroad planning their trip here, and this has scared the sh*t out of the locals as well…although many of us can still joke about it because we were brought with a messed up sense of humour.
News has it that this one particular shark who killed the two tourists (yes we are convinced that it is one shark) is a racist shark.
Think about it, only white tourists were attacked. Do you know how many people swim in that part of the beach every day? A lot. Of those people, there is undoubtedly a large gap between the number of Seychellois to number of tourists swimming in these waters. So why were these people specifically targeted?
Please don’t mind my comments, I just hear these humour-based stories buzzing around and I blog about it. We do feel bad about the tourists and their loved ones.
Anyway, an ex-classmate of mine posted this on her Facebook status message earlier; she said ‘the safest place to swim at the moment is the bath tub’. We’re all being advised to stay away from the ocean. Even if these events happened on one beach on Praslin (Anse Lazio), nobody knows if the sharks in our ocean have all gone mad.
My sister just told me that some fishermen have only seen head of a shark in their net. As in fish were caught with sharks, the sharks ate up all the fish and then started eating each other. That’s how mad they’ve become. But I wouldn’t be surprised if this was completely fabricated. I mean, think about it: if there were a bunch of fish in a net amongst sharks and they were all eaten and the sharks were all still hungry so they decided to eat each other, shouldn’t there be one shark left standing? Why in the world would there be only a head of a shark left, did it attempt to eat itself too until its mouth couldn’t reach the top part of its body? Now that’s just messed up.
Jaws.
