In most cases of animals attacking humans, the human made a stupid choice. Take the idiot who, last week, decided to grab a bull shark’s tail at Wrightsville Beach, N.C. He thought the 4-foot bull shark wasn’t dangerous. That error of judgment led to a very bloody human arm.

As marine biologist Andy Rogan (my brother) asked me, “What is the thought process from someone who goes to grab a shark?”
