Lifeguards at the Punta Cana beach off Hard Rock Punta Cana hauled a blue shark to shore, fearing it would bite swimmers. A video showing the staff with the dead shark has been doing the rounds and has received criticism for the treatment that the shark may have suffered before its death. One expert was critical that the shark was killed here when in other countries great steps are being taken to preserve the sharks. A report in Fox News says that the blue shark rarely attacks humans. From 1850 to 2013, a blue shark has only been involved in 13 attacks on humans, four of them fatal.
