Yet he still is the reason for the widespread hunt of sharks, and his books never motivated people to love sharks to the level that his movies made people fear them…
Peter Benchley himself stated that he wish he'd never even made that movie… he hates his movies, and everyone else should too for what they've meant to the ocean.
i know :( but he made up for it with his his books on sharks ^_^
indeed, thats why i read all his non-fictional work ^_^
whewn i was lil i thought jaws was scary,not cuz of the shark,i was afraid of the people hurtin the shark, so i always was on the sharks side, i guess once you read 1book on how sharks are hunted, then watch a movie where a shark eats a few people you think "well bout time they got sum revenge" lol
in the end,humans are worse than the sharks, and sharks deserve the respect, for their elegance,& strength
I feel sad about all the misunderstandings we humans have about Sharks :(
i know noone will believe me but its honest truth, when i was lil i got caught by the under toe at the beach i was being pulled out to sea,and i got free thanx to a shark bumpin me in the back (i totally freaked thinkin it was gonna kill me, but it saved me, and im in its debt) then i stole those lobsters form the lobster cage :D (dont look at me like that, free lobster,who could resist?)
