I love how you and everyone else who criticized this example left out the second part which is an explanation. Yes, it's not the most accurate analogy, but obviously you can understand the point (or if not, you could have read the 2nd part of my post).
Pirates attack ships. That's what pirates do. They don't just float around and smoke pipes like you saw in Pirates of the Caribbean. Everyone with any sense knows that they're aggressive and dangerous. They see a potential target, they attack. How is this different from sharks? A shark in need will attack a potential target. You think if the pirates already looted fifty ships in one night and they were just chilling that they'd still waste energy on another ship? Highly unlikely. Just like how a shark might not attack any person on sight, but if they need to, you bet they will.
The number is irrelevant. That is not even close to the point. The point is that everyone knows the Somali waters are dangerous. Yet, tourists like these ones go there, so arrogant in thinking the rules of death don't apply to them, then all of a sudden you get knocked off your high horse and start crying foul. It's one thing if those waters were peaceful and there was no pirate threat, but it's a fact accepted world wide that you don't go into those waters, much less for a vacation.
If you think the pirates are the only ones in the wrong, then educate yourself. You're probably the same kind of person who'd walk into Compton flossing your G-Shock and Bapes and when you get robbed, you run back to the suburbs and complain about how "the gangsters did you dirty". Next time you try interpreting a quote, how about you try reading it in it's entirety?

The pirates intentions is to attack and hi-jack.. unlike a shark they might attack if hungry but is not their job or focus.. plus couple 100 pirates.. vs couple million sharks. Do the math

So if a women dresses provocatively and gets raped, it's their fault?

I see what ya'll are saying but I can never blame a victim. That is like blaming a person for being murdered in a bad neighborhood.
