It does seem there are more shark attacks in the past few years. Maybe they are high on something?

What a shame. Humans are capable of ruining everything.

Geez, even wildlife isn't safe from drugs..

They should make laws banning sharks from abusing drugs.

It’s good for humans swimming or surfing. Cocaine kills one’s appetite.

The problem is those that like nose candy like 'the' wildlife.

Reminds me of a stat from the UK. It is estimated that 80% of "paper" bank notes contain trace of cocaine. In large cities, such as London - it's even higher.
