Most people do it for sport, and some catch them for food. Some people put their fins in to a soup called shark fin soup. Other people catch them and keep the jaws for show, or trophy. I think it is a horrible sport. But that is just my opinion.

Well people are killing more then 73 million sharks each year for their fins so it makes sense they want to attack us. Also they might mistake you for a animal if you lay down on a surfboard and swim while on it

If a human goes into the environment of the shark.

What causes shark to attack?

Human beings are not shark food but they are subject to attacks. This mostly happens when sharks simply mistake humans for something they normally eat. Upon realizing that this isn't its usual food they let go. A majority of recorded attacks show that a shark hangs on for a few seconds to its victim before letting go. It is very rare for a shark to repeatedly attack and feed on a human victim. It's easy to understand the shark's confusion since attack victims are surfers or people riding boogie boards.
