Shark attacks drop as recession cuts beach time

MIAMI (Reuters) – Even the sharks are feeling the impact of the global economic slowdown.

Shark attacks on humans dropped worldwide in 2008 to their lowest level in five years, apparently because the recession has curtailed seaside vacations, University of Florida researchers who compile the annual tally said on Thursday.

They confirmed 59 shark attacks on humans in 2008, down from 71 the previous year and the fewest since 2003.

And I thought people losing their jobs are already a bad sign, here comes hungrier sharks.

We hope the economy pick up again so that the Sharks have more human meat to eat.
