Shark Advocates Want To Replace Wording For Shark ‘Attacks’ With ‘Bites’

A group of shark advocates is pressing for shark “attacks” to be renamed potentially in an effort to shift the conversation about negative interactions with the creatures.

As the New York Post reported, “Marine experts and advocates in Australia are urging the public to refrain from using the word ‘attack’ in reference to sharks, declaring that the majestic predatory fish has been unfairly stigmatized as a deliberate killer.”
