Where I live. Yes we have Great White sharks offshore. No, they haven't eaten anyone yet though we encourage politicians to visit our beach for a swim.

You know what though? I absolutely love that humans do this. This animal, with its teeth and its reputation, washed ashore and was helpless and humans saved it. They received no benefit from saving it, they just did it because. And I think that's amazing.
