"blah blah..."Can Sharks be Trained?"<br />"blah blah...YES"<br /><br />A sweeping statement if ever there was one. Can captive Lemon sharks for example be trained? Yes, they can, the Navy did numerous tests on them in the 50's and 60's which showed them to be rather intelligent. Can a Whale Shark be trained?

- I fully agree. ...show me the F@$%ing Evidence!!!<br /><br />- I fully agree. There has to be some deep seated conviction (unamenable to counter-examples) that shark feeding must be unconsionably dangerous and therefore is. <br /><br />The proof of the blame game idiocy is when ever-harassed and regularly bitten spearfishermen blame shark feeders near and far for their own woes. <br /><br />Opponents of shark Jeremy Stafford-Deitschnoreply@blogger.com
