Shark experts insist on re-branding attacks as shark interactions

By Thomas A. Smith

Marine experts and advocates in Australia are urging the public to refrain from using the word attack in reference to sharks, declaring that the majestic predatory fish has been unfairly stigmatized as a deliberate killer.

Instead, officials have suggested that violent run-ins with sharks be dubbed with more neutral words such as interactions.

Others have suggested swapping the word with the terms negative encounter, incident or simply bites, the Sydney Morning Herald recently reported.
