If you can forgive a shark for making you its dinner — you're a good person. If you can forgive it and fight for its protection and survival — you're an angel.
Chuck Anderson, 44, a high school coach and vice principal, tells his dramatic story of being mangled by a shark. In 2000, he was swimming off the Gulf Coast, and he lost his right arm above the elbow. Despite any grudges he may of had against the shark, Anderson joined a group of attack victims on a quest to persuade the US Senate to save the sharks.
Out of love and compassion, nine shark attack survivors trekked to Washington D.C., organized by the Pew Environment Group, to help ban shark finning, a process where fishermen slice off a shark's fin to sell in primarily Asian markets as a soup ingredient. Up to 3 million sharks are killed annually for their fins. The group of activists are still waiting to hear the results of their plea.
Watch Anderson's miraculous tale of survival and even more outstanding attitude towards shark preservation.
