For all of you who think they are ruthless killers

Pfffft
I am from Perth, this is like a day trip to the beach with the kids over here......
I'd like to know more about her 'calculated risk'. I.e. is a 50% chance of being eaten acceptable? Incredible vid tho
Like circus tigers, that shark was in a drug-induced stupor (in addition to having just been fed two seals and half a walrus). While it remains dubious that they have a gentle side, they certainly have massive jaws with jagged teeth that are designed (and used) for killing anything that resembles food or an outboard engine. The videos that show the world the virtues of the great departed leader Kim Jong-il are hence more credible than this Joseph Goebbels-inspired eco-propaganda. If you want to "save"the oceans, start by not feeding your cat (aka "bird killer") cans of depleted ocean resources (i.e fish that are somehow deemed less worthy of life).
i can see that is a totally valid point
. . . . . . but (and i am no expert on the matter) if while im out kitsurfing a great white decides to introduce himself to me im pretty sure (in fact almost certain) that it won't be wanting me to grab onto his dorsal finn so we can gracefully glide around for a bit of fun
I love it. Let's kill heaps of other fish, feed the great white until it's full then swim with it to prove it's harmless and we should protect all living creatures.
On another note, did anyone attend the peaceful paddle for sharks in Perth the other week? If yes I was just wondering what the bbq tasted like after? A mate of mine went and said "come down, they have a free bbq at the end!" **** those hippies are stupid.
Red thumb away
Pretty impressive. I particularly like how they got an expert opinion in these matters, to help give the story credibility:
"Sydney Sea Life Aquarium aquarist Amy Wilkes said that swimming with great white sharks was clearly a dangerous proposition."
Was that blonde hair I noticed?
It's like filming a fat guy walking past a Mcdonalds and claiming fat guys don't eat McDonalds.
If the dude is hungry you don't want to be Filet-o-Fish.
Reminds me of that guy who got too close to some polar bears and wanted to cuddle them cause they are your friend... just another dumb idea
Sharks are apex predators and play a crucial role in keeping the balance of an ecosystem.
I think what she is advocating is the role sharks play in keeping our oceans filled with life. Kudos to her. That shark did look very docile.
Shark numbers may be on the decline but definitely not great whites and tigers! They are healthier than ever and their population is continuing to grow :)
Its only thanks to modern technology that we'll see a lot more of them.
