Heh... I'm all for sharks eating more humans... as many as they can catch...
Sherman's Lagoon is a favourite comic strip of mine.

I remember when we were chartering in the Exuma Cays and got the "oh so
you're chartering" lip from a fat Yankee in a boat with his friends. Next
morning in the anchorage I saw them waddling over the side for a swim. About
a minute later I saw a shark fin break surface about ten yards away and
watched it swim right under our boat chasing some bait fish. It was about 6
to 7 feet long.... I didn't warn the fat Yankees. It was so-o-o-o-o funny
watching them exit in fear about 5 minutes later.... all that panicked
splashing and screaming as they fought each other for the swim platform on
their boat.

I did swim over about 20 minutes later despite their shouts of "we saw a
shark, get out of the water" and tell them I had seen the shark "before"
they went in for a swim. When they asked incredulously why I didn't warn
them.. I said I was rooting for the shark and got the impression they didn't
want to be annoyed by "charter boat people"..... ha Ha
