WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: Sharks

A teenage girl has been killed by a shark while swimming off the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. The 15-year-old victim, who had travelled from mainland France to visit her father in Reunion, was attacked yesterday while snorkelling a few metres from the shore at Saint-Paul on the west coast, local officials say. It is the second fatal shark attack near the island so far this year. This is why sharks need to go. They are a danger to humans and many good (and not so good) people fall victim to them every day. Sharks are an unnecessary waste of space which could go to more deserving species. So if you're planning a trip to Reunion (or anywhere else for that matter), then remember to bring a harpoon. You never know when you will need it.
