Tux did you see a guy was attacked in Vic last week. A bronze whaler.. So were do you stop unless you kill them all..

The point is still the same, cull a thousand sharks and your in the water one day, a shark swims up to bite you, how has that cull helped you at that one moment

We need to think smarter and beyond the simple methods. These large sharks swim up and down the coast from South Australia. Drum lines and nets have been used up and down the coast for decades and yet the problem is increasing. The argument that "This beach has nets/drums and has no attacks" is really irrational as the sharks swim hundreds of kms weekly. So what you kill today will be replaced by another tomorrow. No nets and drums in Vic yet how many attacks, these sharks all swim through the waters.

As for price, well i guess its what price is your health worth.. IN WA our state government has spent $20 million dollars on this issue for what

A set of fins is $160, its a cheap price for some safety..IN the future when Katana get more support, anything will be possible.

Bro I never mentioned the species I just said you can catch whetever you want over 6 foot

I understand what your saying and ideally I would like to see a live and let live policy but the toothy buggers ain't listening

the correlation between GWS maturation times, the ban on killing them and teh number of attacks cannot be conincidence

Tux the only people who are saying the rise in attacks is due to a rise in the number sharks due to over protection, are journos or people who want them killed. You simply won't find anyone with any level of scientific knowledge or a marine degree that supports that argument. For that matter you won't find one that says that culling sharks will reduce attacks. So why would we not listen to the educated in this case, who all says its the wrong thing to do

If people are sick do they turn to a journalist selling a headline for a cure Well maybe a few might but why would we not listen to the experts on this one..

Oh and Lacey how do you know if a shark is hanging around in a area? seriously one that is spotted today compared to one spotted the next day, how can you tell the difference..

I would known't how mate I dont study or catch. Drum and net. Tag them. But I reckon those guys would know how to pick a certain shark out.. especially a big sucker that been hanging around.

geez things are worse then you and me thought if there's more than one hanging for some human snack time

If they couldnt even do that who is going to listen to them.

Mate your in denial if you can't see a increase in activity.

What load of hogwash. Very very small tiny chance of attack but hey we are going to close the beaches

My take on this.
JB comes across as a decent bloke who is passionate about the survival of sharks and some of us may not agree with his views. Let's not get personal in our posts.
Btw JB your posts are way too long for me to read due to my (lack of) attention span. 50 words or less or break up your essays into smaller paragraphs.
