Let's kill a shark...

Police call off hunt for great white

I disagree with the hunting of sharks if they have been involved in an attack on humans. People that choose to utilise the world's oceans should know that such creatures exist, and that they are entering their domain. Perhaps I would feel differently if it happened to someone I knew, but it still comes back to that person taking the risk in the first place.
I know they're there, somewhere, so I keep my lily white ass out of the pool...

So back to the story. The skipper of the boat got chomped by the shark at the Abrolhos Islands while snorkelling. The crew and passengers witnessed the ghastly scene. I hope I never see something like that. I still don't think it warrants the hunting of the shark, even if its in a section of the ocean that people don't expect it to be...
