In a real life re-enactment of the fictional movie JAWS, Australian authorities are now hunting a great white shark which killed a teenager who was wakeboarding off an Adelaide beach. Why are authorities now hunting this shark??? If you go in the ocean there is a chance - though extremely slim that you could be attacked by a
shark, its that simple. Sharks are absolutely amazing creatures and should be left alone!!!!!!! To quote the VICTIMS FATHER: "We acknowledge that the sea is in fact the shark's domain and we don't, and I certainly don't, advocate the indiscriminate killing of any shark"
Thats a brilliant post! ha ha.

Seems pointless. This was crazy because the guy was actually devoured, which is rare. The electronic tagging sounds cool.

Unfortunately even tagging isn't perfect in the long term. You see, if you tag the most deadly sharks, then eventually fish will evolve the ability to detect the radio signals and will stay away from it.
Meaning that sharks which kill people will no longer have a natural source of food and will then have to attack stupid humans who don't listen to the life gaurds with the shark tag detection equipment. I realise i'm saying humans are stupider than fish, but people like to ignore authority, and fish don't know what authority is.
So yeah, in the end, we die. The solution is to stop over fishing so they don't have to resort to trying to eat us and when sharks do come to popualted beaches, dump a load of fish a couple of miles up the beach to draw the sharks away.
Yes I realise this is a stupid comment.

I like that your google ads were about REEF jewelry and white sharks today. How poetic.

It's nature that the shark 'thinks' we are there to be eaten. The 'reality' of sharks shown in movies like Jaws aren't even close to reality... It are elegant, beautiful creatures...! If they attack, don't take it personal... I'm sorry anyway...
Another thing is that the shark is on top of a footchain and we don't want it to be missed there!

the reason they kill animals that attach humans is that once a preditory animal such as a shark, tiger, wolf, ect. attacks a human once, it increases the chance of that shark doing it again. Humans are not the natural food source of any animal, but once an animal realizes that it can in fact feed on humans, that particular animal tends to be much more likely to repeat the incident.
