In the Caymans and a few other places in the Caribbean they feed stingrays by hand for their snorkeling and diving clients. If there is a storm one day and no one goes out to feed them, the next day the rays are pretty aggressive and I know some people who have actually gotten love bites(hickies) from the rays as they tried to get out of the water and the rays followed them to the boat and sucked on to them as they were leaving the water.
Pretty funny. Saw some pictures of the love bites mainly on snorkelers who weren't wearing wetsuits.
Take the animal out of their natural behavior pattern and the equation changes.
