So the headline, Thirteen-year-old girl punches shark is going around and I'm glad she survived a freak-y rare incident, especially given the shallow water, but sharks really need a break. This wasn't really headline material.
We've done our best to wipe out the planet's predators and we need them.
P.S. if you can punch a shark in the nose you can just squeeze the tip instead and put them in tonic shock.
