A MAJOR decline in fish stocks in Australian waters is leading hungry great white sharks to switch prey and turn to humans as a food source.

Fish stocks, including tuna, snapper, kingfish and mulloway, had declined by up to 95per cent in the past 60 years, leaving sharks hungry, said Scoresby Shepherd, a marine biologist at the South Australian Research and Development Institute Aquatic Sciences.'

I can't help but be amused by this, because when more people are consumed by these animals, it'll give the animal haters more reason to label sharks as "dangerous man eaters". You have to laugh to keep from crying sometimes.
