It has nothing to do with fertility...

...or even infertility, really, except that I am constantly amazed that we're trying to bring a child into a world where stupid stuff like this goes on. Australian authorities are hunting a shark after a "savage" attack on a surfer. I understand the perceived need to protect humans in our natural environment, but it's the shark's natural environment, too, and he can't choose to leave the ocean and go get a job in a beer-bottling plant. You can choose not to surf in shark-infested waters, though. The bad journalism is what really gets me. The anthropomorphization of this animal into a brutal killer is a bit crazy. The shark DID what sharks DO...eat meat. Surfer, you are the meat.

Making the shark sound like a plotting serial killer with moral standards and a human conscience (or lack thereof) is just silly.
