Punishment is futile

People NEED to realize that when you put yourself in the environment of wild animals then you put yourself at risk, regardless of your reason for being there, especially when you make yourself come off as appetizing or threatening to the animal(s) that live there. This is especially so when it comes to marine environments. The animals really can't hold the blame for doing what they do. Guilt and blame doesn't apply to them as it does to humans. The sea and its tenants are so alien compared to what humans can typically defend against/flee from, not to mention the comparative difficulty of a human moving through ocean surf than a sea critter.
