There are a lot of things people do that kill sharks or make the waters uninhabitable for sharks. When people hear that, they think "good, I don't want to get et by a shark when I go swimmin" because that's how they talk. This is supposed to draw attention to how sharks don't actually pose a threat to swimmers, and highlight their importance in the aquatic ecosystems.
It's not meant to prove anything, just to draw attention to the issue.
