Re: Shark Culling - Yes or No?
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2014 5:47 pmGod no - killing sharks makes us no better than the Japs killing whales and the Chinese slaughtering dolphins.
In fact, it makes us even worse because we have NO purpose for killing them.

Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2014 6:03 pmNo for me, too.
What is happening in WA at the moment is very poor.
I also wish crocodiles werent killed either, especially in their natural habitat (where they make their way into townships, could be a different story).

Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2014 6:09 pmNo. Ridiculous situation in WA.
Not many crocs are killed in their natural habitat.

Indeed.
They ought to make a few netted areas on some select Perth beaches. Those who don't want to risk a shark attack can swim there. Might even be cheaper than paying the shark-killer contractor 5 grand a day...

Re: Shark Culling - Yes or No?
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 1:40 amAbsolute disgrace. Pulling up a 3 metre Tiger Shark and shooting it in the head 4 times to kill it is as barbaric as it comes.
Think its funny up until recently left over carcasses were dumped in the ocean from slaughter houses. We wonder why Sharks come in so close....
Before we react perhaps we need to find out the proper reason why they come in so close. The rest of Australia has effectively managed this situation so how come the spastics running the show in WA over the last 20 years can't do the same?

Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 8:36 amLove the WA government's reasoning for this. 7 deaths in 3 years 
yep let's get rid of them 
Bloody car accidents have the potential to do that inside 3 weeks.....

Re: Shark Culling - Yes or No?
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 8:37 amWhat about killing Crocs, Snakes, Funnel webs/redbacks?
Is there a difference in killing sharks that come close to popular beaches?

Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 9:19 amthe reason why sharks are killed after killing and consuming a human is to retrieve the body
sharks don't chew on their food, they bite

Re: Shark Culling - Yes or No?
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 9:41 amNo, culling sharks is not the answer. Afterall they aren't the deadliest thing in the ocean.
Whats next? Culling of the blue ringed octopus and Box Jellyfish?
Every animal in the ocean serves a purpose, you start culling sharks and you will find another problem will arise due to the change in environment.

there is no suggestion that they are targeting a specific shark that has eaten someone, but they are culling sharks because in their eyes the death rate is too high.
absolutely ridiculous, and the comparison with japan is a good one-
