So wish cancer on people you don't like? That says something about you. You're a dirt bag piece of ****. You should visit an oncology wing sometime and see what you're wishing on people simply because you disagree with them on a political issue.(of all things fishing for sharks!!)
I know! You don't surf there so what do you care about those people. You only care about yourself You just make sure your precious sharks aren't hurt and you can watch how cool they are on shark week and cheer for the propaganda that's being fed to you!
Where was even my personal attack against you?(not that would justify what you said anyway). You're a little coward hiding behind a computer screen making threats like a little *****. Is this what you wish on me metard for the simple reason I support the australian governments decision? http://www.bodyboarder.com/content.php/167-Eddie-Solomon-I-have-Cancer-I-wil-Beat-it!! (he died a few months later)
The reason you can't read the word "Rhode Island" is because it is covered with all the pings, from all of the great white sharks that are in the area.... This is a shot of only RECENT activity.... Be careful what you wish for, cause yeah, there are no Great Whites here. And the guy in Southern California that got ripped in half in from of my restaurant would maybe dispute that claim also if he was still alive.
I don't see a single ping within miles of the ri coast or NJ. When their in a coastal hunting pattern, they go in as shallow as waist deep and cruise parrallel to the coast. The ocean is huge. That's SAFE for RI and NJ. Their all out in the open ocean and most are hanging out near the shelf. Look at how dangerous cape cod is becoming. Especially the southern part where there are a ton of seals and numbers have SKY ROCKETED. See how close to shore their paralleling? I wouldnt' go in that water. Only danger area I see on the entire EC for white sharks. White sharks are only significant danger when something is bringing them in to shore(SEALS). You could also reloacte the seals/spay them ect and have a BETTER effect than culling the sharks. The ocean is HUGE. Remember that.
Let me put it simply, get rid of the seals and basically no more white shark attacks. SEALS BRING IN WHITE SHARKS. Otherwise they stay out in the open ocean. They don't go in chest deep water looking for fish. They hang out near the shelf when they want fish. You don't see white shark attacks on people in areas of low concentration of seals. The higher the number of seals, the greater the chance of attack Look at all that white shark activity near monomoy wildlife refuge where all the seals hang out. There's a ****load of them. Of course we can't mess with seals either since that's messing with nature.
That is why I made this post, not because I am a shark lover. If we could protect humans in any way, I am all for it, but the methods they are using in Australia do NOT address the issue at hand what so ever. Its just for show. I don't care what they do with the sharks, eat them whatever, but its a sad state of affairs when they use these methods to try and convince them that they are somehow safer. They just randomly killed a bunch of fish that were not the culprits. They would have more success building shark net systems or something ridiculous like that.
I agree zach619. If they actually caught or went after great whites then I probably wouldn't have a problem with it. They didnt. They wasted their time. I am not crazy about saving sharks but at least go after the ones that are doing the damage. Sharks do play an important role in the ecosystems. Every thing is here for a reason. Even mosquitos. The idea about killing seals is redonkulous.
Yes I agree. Common sense would tell you that if you were out to get white sharks that attacked people and you got ZERO white sharks then you weren't that effective. Only one fatality has occurred at Bondi Beach since it got shark netting in 1937. Before that, NSW had one shark fatality a year.(and there were VERY FEW PEOPLE BACK then population wise to now and no surfers) Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/environment/c...-controversy-20090213-86pp.html#ixzz31ARREfaN You can see the shark conservation people actually fighting netting because sharks get caught in it! THERE WOULD NEVER BE ENOUGH SHARKS CAUGHT TO MAKE THEM GO EXTINCT. They simply don't want see sharks get hurt. They don't give a rats ass about swimmers/surfers or your children! "SLSA shark adviser, the CSIRO's Barry Bruce, said swimmers had a much higher chance of drowning than being mauled by a shark." LOL! Yeah if you have no clue what you're doing in the ocean. I've seen multiple people that basically would have drowned stuck in a rip having no clue what to do with no lifeguards on duty. Incredibly dangerous. IF It's so low risk why are they telling people not to swim at dawn and dusk? lol Net makes huge improvement, but is not 100%. Proper safe coastal management stradegy for high population area with dangerous sharks like that is seal removal/population control, netting, and controlled shark fishing of great whites in very near shore waters. Shark attacks are a real concern in Australia. Not some jaws movie imagination stuff like in NJ.
You can relocate them and fix them and do it humanely. If you fix every female sitting on a 1 miles stretch of beach/island then you can wipe out thousands of seals in one generation. They all lie on the beach and many are tagged already. It could easily be done.
I have seen two shark incidents, LIVE during ASP events. Once in Australia last year and the one before that was in South Africa when a white shark came into the lineup during a Damien Hobgood and Taj Burrow heat. Watch the show Diamond Divers. my best friend and surfing compadre of many years in SD is the game named Sam on the show. Its on spike TV. He gets surrounded by white sharks while diving 100 feet deep in South Africa. He cut his hand on the sand pump, on camera and they film white sharks just swarming him as he slowly came up the shaft of the pump to the surface.... **** gets real when you see your best friend almost get eaten alive on TV.... So yeah, Im not planning any surf trips to South Africa any time soon.
At least people....See how the loonies are lying to you with the killed by lightning vs shark statistics. Do you REALLY believe that if you're on an outer sandbar near a seal colony in shark infested waters in Australia or South Africa paddling on your surfboard and that's your local break for a decade that your greater risk is dying by lightning? These are lies! Used to manipulate people into believing the shark fanatics agenda!
There's not a reason for everything. Nature is not rational. HUMANS are rational and we are making up these things and projecting emotions onto something(nature) that doesn't care one way or another. Mosquitoes are here because they were able to survive and make a living by sucking blood. Period. World would be better off for us without them. Absolutely. Countless lives in Africa would be saved. For example, would the world be a better place without HIV? Or does HIV have a purpose? What about ebola? I guess these are viruses and don't have DNA so it's questionable whether their alive anyway. Lets use the black plague bacteria that wiped out half of Europe. Should we not kill that? Not use antibiotics against it? Since it's also a life form and "Serves a purpose"? And it's from nature. Reminds me of the absurd argument by people who know nothing about medicine talking about weed being safe since it's from nature. So's heroin and death cap mushroom. LOL Nature doesn't care about anything. We DO. We are capable of emotion and caring. Nature is an inanimate object that we project our ideals onto. Do you see the point I'm making?
Yeah I have no idea who would actually plan a trip there for fun. I mean seriously, much safer, warmer water out there. Why the hell would a recreational surfer go there. lol I think it's mostly just crazy locals. I remember watching a documentary about sharks. They have this shark lover guy talking about how there's almost no of chance of a shark attack at this beach in South Africa.....less then 3 months later a guy was killed right where that guy was on his surfboard showing how there's nothing to fear....lol
Here is the problem with your argument, we are a part of nature. Mosquitos feed spiders, lizards, frogs. There is an underlying theme. If we start wiping out species then we risk disrupting our food chain. We are the the only ones that feel and care but that doesn't mean we are the only important ones. I agree human life is more important, but if you start altering nature too much it is gonna end up screwing us. Im definitely not a shark lover, but there is a balence out there that is way beyond my understanding.
Shark hunter, you make some valid points but your delivery of those points make you come off as a giant douche. Are you saying that you enjoyed the video and you agree that the more sharks we kill the better? No one makes anyone get into the water at these sharky breaks. Everyone who surfs there is aware of the danger when they paddle out. I'm all for safety but at the end of the day we are all responsible for ourselves and the choices we make
