A MAN
was rushed to hospital after a shark attack at a crowded beach on the Costa Blanca on Friday.
According to lifeguards, the 40-year-old Elche resident came out of the sea with a bloody hand after being bitten while swimming.
Red flags were raised at the Arenales del Sol beach in Elche as authorities were forced to ban swimming.
The man was taken to the hospital for stitches for the “serious bite”, according to a spokesman at the DYA ambulance service.
The red flags were kept in place for about two hours until bathers were allowed back in the water.
It is believed that the culprit was a Blue Shark, a species that rarely bite humans.
It is only known to have been involved in 13 biting incidents, four of which ended fatally.
15 to 20 million blue sharks are killed annually by the human species.
and your point is…???…..are you saying a fish life is worth more than a childs life……i am totally bewildered by your idiotic comment…..speachless….!!!!
Actually Jack, what Vincent is saying “15 to 20 million blue sharks are killed annually by the human species”, and to top it all, it’s in their territory. To them and to all forms of sea life any introduction that appears to be a food will be eaten and I have never known sharks attacking the human species on land.
justification of any human lives being lost is bizarre to me …on any count…unless you both agree its ok….just saying
Don’t say I agree but just stating facts. The problem is Jack we also view fish as a food supply no different to them viewing humans spieces. Hope you get my drift.
Jack Daww,
your mentality made sense a few centuries ago but today? It may have escaped your notice but this planet has a problem – one species in particular is breeding itself itself into extinction and wiping out a lot of other species in the process
