Idiots,
how the hell do you come to that conclusion.

This is like walking across a highway and telling police to start shooting cars because you got hit.

Shark culls urged at busy WA beaches

Do people not realise sharks are culled in gigantic numbers on a daily basis by the fishing industry worldwide???

Like dolphins, sharks have a language which is slowly being understood. So far the words "cull. surfboard. dudes" have been translated.

Most of the attacks in WA have been due to spearfishing. That is - the guys have dead and bloody fish dragging behind them ...and they do this on Scuba, unlike other States. Not good.
Two attacks involved the same people in the same spot doing the same thing a year or so apart: spearing on Scuba.

I think its pathetic and inferior that we wipe out species because a good number of us can't cope or place ourselves in a situation of vulnerability.
Until the global MILITARY jilts Politics and starts standing up for the Protection of Animal species around the Globe, there is little hope as the Greenies just get bullied aside for trying to keep us a better future.

At Bushrangers in Bass Point NSW, I was emotionally distressed underwater during a dive. A Grey Nurse Shark was zeroing in on my 'Distress' and if I hadn't reacted and seen it coming straight at me, I'm sure it would have taken a bite. Instead, the 'surprise' was gone and it slowly circled away.
Does the shark deserve to be culled?
Hell no! Its a shark and we have much to learn from animal species.
...a world without animals and nature is like a mind without imagination.

To much Fish and aquatic life is being destroyed NEEDLESSLY for short term financial greed.
To much tinned fish sits on shelves unbought and end up as landfill - what a waste! ::) >:( :(

Probably the fisheries will be extinct soon and cats and dogs will go vegan.
There was a TV doco on a disabled paraplegic boy who was taken to orangutans in Borneo. One ape walked up to the group of people with its gaze fixed on the boy and held his arms. Then walked off.
Not easy with sharks, it's not like scuba and surfers could wear hardened armour leggings.

I knew the bloke (and his brother) who was killed ! They used to live in Morley....

Nice guys but I wouldn't have been doing what they were doing...

... anyway, the point I was trying to make was that I didn't think they culled Great Whites!!

THE SONG I DEDICATE TO PETER IS,

Peter Peter Peter Peter
we smoked so much dope
we smoked and ate pizza!
We laughed and we stacked it on skateboards
at easter
...we all got jealous when you pulled hot thangz!

The papers were right: "...a bloke you could sit and talk to all night!"

Sorry to hear that,

I have scuba dived and snorkeled thousands of times and never worry about sharks. Seems like his mate who was interviewed on the news knew of the risks but did it anyway, probably for the love of the ocean.

It makes more sense to cull seals and whales - in nature, a population will only grow if there is enough food to sustain an increase.  Reduce the numbers of their prey and the numbers of sharks will stabilize, plus we can use the whales and seals for their pelts and their meat.  If there's a use for loads of dead sharks, I'm not sure what it is.

Very true tolerator.
Bit of flake isn’t bad but not from a protected animal.

If anyone ever suggests culling to you, explain that sharks are already culled in their tens of thousands each day around the world.

His brutha was a good bloke but jebus.... I've just been shakin' my head for 10 days or so now!!  :'( :'( :'(

Ok, I don’t really remember just remember him saying he didn’t want a cull and something along the lines of being in their territory or something like that.
Extremely brave, most people would probably freeze if they saw a giant like that in front of them.

Polar bears start on garbage tins when it's hard to find fish.
Many fish species are not growing to full size because of intensive fishing, or even extinction.

The collapse of most of the food chain in the ocean is a very real possibility; it only takes the extinction of one key player in the food chain for it all to come tumbling down.
Don’t take it for granted

- not to mention the destruction of habitat as a result of reduced calcification due to dropping surface pH, and the differential migration of benthic and open water species resulting in breakdowns of ecosystems. Fish stocks are likely to come under a great deal of pressure this century as a result of carbon dioxide emissions and overfishing.
