Why do you think sharks attacking surfers is negative? Sharks are 
PREDATORS...they eat meat, and yes, occasionally they mistake surfers for 
seals...but they don't eat the surfers, they bite them, taste the man 
taste (For some reason I don't understand, Humans are the most unpalatable 
animal to 99% of the worlds predators) and usually let go (NOT always, but 
usually) And even if they don't, do the ten or fifteen attacks a year 
really equal the MILLIONS of sharks killed every year? Doubtful,
and besides my point is that Sharks, Wolves, and other endangered animals, 
while not cute and friendly like the dolphin, are even MORE important to 
the foodchain (Without natural arch predation, species expansion leads to 
species extinction)

Save our meat eating uncute bretheren!
