It may come as a surprise that research seems to show that sharks don't feel pain.

"Snow and his co-workers concluded that elasmobranchs lack the neuronal machinery absolutely essential for the perception of pain."

...essential for the perception of pain in humans.

At best this shows that shark pain perception has a different neurological basis to humans. We still have no idea what sharks do and don't "feel".
