According to News24.com: Police divers are searching for the remains of a 78-year-old female, who was attacked by a shark on Monday morning.

While this is very sad for the family of the victim, I must agree with Cherryflava that Sharks are wild animals in their natural habitat. Trying to hunt it down in revenge is no viable solution.

Here are some tips for avoiding being attacked by a shark:

• Avoid swimming with an open wound, as sharks can detect blood.
• Don’t swim at dawn, dusk, and at night when sharks are most active.
• Avoid swimming in the vicinity of open rivers.
• Don’t swim alone, always swim in groups.
• When visiting an unfamiliar area, always ask for local advice.
• Be cautious, especially when spear fishing.
• Obey instructions from lifeguards and other beach officials.
