Alright. Everyone, Listen to me. No one is being fair!! Ok, I'll start with the bear one. Bears ARE NOT EVIL!!!! In the movies The Fox and the Hound and Balto there is a bear, and evil bear. Now, people hate bears! Is that fair? First of all, no bear is that big, second, no bear would just blindly attack something! These movies needed a bad guy so the good guy can look like a hero. Well.... its not fair to trash an animals reputation just to make another animal look good, I hope you all know that.

I heard a story about a guy who was on the beach and saw a baby sandshark (a compleatly harmless, tiny, baby, sandshark) So do you know what he did? HE KILLED IT! People are so paranoid (excuse my spelling) In fact, not even a quarter of shark species are dangerouse and those that are, don't eat humans. Almost all shark attacks are, the shark bite someone, then spits the human out, they don't want to eat enyone.

Lastly, as you all are familiar with, is wolves. The forum that Lonewulf wrote, about the anti-wolf coalition in Idaho, they are planning on killing every last wolf in Idaho! They want to do this because they think that the wolves will kill off every last elk in Idaho. Well, as most of you know, wolves only kill what they need and only the sick and weak and old, thus making the herds healthier. God only knows where they got the idea that the wolves will kill off all the elk!

These are only a few of the millions of missunderstood animals in the world. SO, before you hate an animal, I advise you to do some reserch and see if that animal really deserves your hatred.

Thank you for reading this and I hope that you will think twice next time you hate an animal

I don't think any animal deserves a bad name, no animal has ever done a bad thing without a good and reasonable cause.

With any animal they only attack humans when there is a good and valid reason for it, they don't think 'Hmm, that human looks tasty I know I'll attack it', most animals prefer to stay away from humans and if they do attack a human for some reason the only reason they'd do it again is if they were starving and a human was the only food source or if they had developed a taste for human flesh.
I feel so sorry for th poor animals that are suffering just because some humans decide to kill something for kicks.

I know...one time, my sis and I went camping and when we were passing bye a road, a little gecko was crawling in front of us and so we stepped over it, but a kid squished it with his foot! (sorry if this is out of topic) And I luv sharks! I think they are cool.^^

The guy should've gotten some of his friends over to help get the baby shark back into the sea,instead of just cold-heartedly killing it.

i dont think they deserve a bad reputation

neither deserve the rep we give them but the reason for it is because we don't fully understand them.

I didn't reserch this at all, I just heard the story of the shark and I was just enraged and needed to do something. It all can from my knowlage and my heart

Wow, wonder what set that off. Okay, calm down. You're not going to solve anything by losing your temper. You can state that you're angry and all, but try to remain calm. Im not too educated on bears, but i know that they have been known to attack campers and hikers for their food. So this must have some impact on the way bears are treated.

As for sharks, i know alot more about these than bears that's for sure. Sharks mainly attack humans because to them, our feet kicking in the water looks like a fish to them. Also you shouldn't wear any jewelry into the ocean. Not only are you risking losing it but if a shark comes along, it shining will look like fish scales to the shark, so they'll attack.
Haha, on your comment: "Almost all shark attacks are, the shark bite someone, then spits the human out, they don't want to eat enyone. "
I gotta tell you something. Sharks have been known to eat humans. It's rare but it's happened before. Frankly, the sharks don't care what it is they eat. Just as long as it's food.
I know there's alot of sharks, but the only really dangerous shark is the Great white.

They're predators, sheesh what do people expect? They're going to defend themselves if need be, anything can look menacing at times so no they don't deserve their reputation.
