Influencers take photos for their followers to see. Some influencers are risking their lives by swimming with sharks. However, people are getting bitten or killed by sharks. A shark expert says there are more shark attacks than ever. He said sharks were wild animals. He said you wouldn't go on safari and put your hand on a lion.
Experts want influencers to stay away from sharks. They say people are getting killed. Last year, a shark bit the hands off a woman when she tried to take a photo of it. Another influencer was killed trying to feed sharks to get them to come closer. Influencers might be sending a dangerous message that it is safe to touch sharks.
