Woman Taken to Hospital With 2-Foot Nurse Shark Still Attached to Her Arm
https://www.yahoo.com/gma/woman-taken-hospital-2-foot-nurse-shark-still-065102259--abc-news-topstories.htmlA woman was bitten by a 2-foot-long nurse shark that was still attached to her right forearm at a Boca Raton, Florida, beach Sunday, according to Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services.
Emergency crews responded to a 911 call of a 23-year-old woman bitten by a shark.
Though the shark was killed before the fire department arrived, it was still attached. Boca Raton Ocean Rescue told a local newspaper that the woman remained calm and there was a little blood. A splint was used to support the woman's arm and the shark as she waited on a stretcher, according to The Associated Press.
The woman, with the dead shark still on her arm, was taken to the Boca Raton Regional Hospital in stable condition.

And the baby nurse shark did not survive.
According to the article, nurse sharks are usually docile around people and tend to only act in self defense.
Between this article and the article about the Yellowstone baby bison that was euthanized due to human interference (http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/05/16/478279342/baby-bison-that-was-placed-in-a-van-by-tourists-in-yellowstone-is-euthanized), I came to this conclusion: People suck.
