Well if I get taken by a shark when I am in his back yard I sure as hell wouldnt want anyone to go a hunt the thing down, just have more respect for them
But if I am on my way to my local kiting spot and get taken out by a drunk driver running a red light I would like the death penalty bought back in
its un australain to let your your brothers die with no remorse, i bet you dont mind killing cows, sheep, pigs,chooks, snapper ,oh and sharks for a feed down your local fish and chip shop, hipocrites get real get your red thumb out your arse[}:)][}:)][}:)]
^^^ remorse means that you're sorry for something that you did. i can't feel remorse for the sharks actions (because i was not involved), but i can be very sorry that the guy was killed. this can be the case without me then feeling i have to kill the shark.
your attitude seems more like vengefulness than remorse, which means you want to hurt/punish someone because they hurt you or one of yours.
is the eye-for-an-eye policy "australian" or "un-australian," and what exactly do you mean by these terms?
to hard ,seems to me yous dont mind killing things for human benifit,ie full tummy,i dont see the difference kill roag shark to prevent future attacks close to shore ie for human benifit ,is that simple enough
sharks dont have a taste for humans its just instict, ever been fishing for tailer with a popper, tailer see a shadow of a popper being dragged across the water a t high speed and there natural instinct to feed says go and they strike a peice of wood whitch has no scent and no taste, imagine your a booger with a pair of flippers ,what shadow do you think that send s down to a shark ,there is no scent there is no taste, instinct tells the shark heres a feed strike, most whites dont venture into shallow waters but when they do there appears to be a problem,im over this post call me what u want im going kiting and paddling and hoping im not next on the 1 per year average we have be en loosing to gw here in west oz ,sounds selfish hey, most of yous il be rite sitting at home pulling your selfs in frount of the computer .......................... rant over
Sorry if this point has been made before, however i feel its a valid disscusion point.
If an intruder finds them self in "my back yard" and my domesticated beast attacks and kills said intruder, our family animal will be disposed off at the request of local shire/court and local comunity.
This will be done without taken in to acount the feeding habits of the dog ie: the dogs biscuits or tins of food where in the back yard at the time of the event.
If the dog was hungry would this justify an attack or if the dog was sick would this be taken into consideration.
I think not.
It would be justified on the basis by the authorities to be to great a risk to futher uninvited visitors "to my backyard"
It is dificult to think of a solution maybe Japan could help save the whales, target the GW for a while.
If you swim in the sea, then you should always go swimming with a fat girl because sharks will go for her first!
Sorry to hear about this young mans death I hate hearing about stuff like that .But i agree If I run over a shark while he is jay walking down the street that was the risk it was taking in my enviroment.
I love water sports but I am jay walking down his highway.
Awareness of sharks and understanding there behaviours are a good start and I agree that in some industries like hand feeding sharks from cages is a stupid interaction. I have crocodiles and sharks where I windsurk and kite and the one thing I love about sharks over crocodile is if the water stops so does the shark.
With a crock I hope I still have enough cardio left to get away.
Cheers Pete
sad to hear of crew passing thru. welcome to the food chain,makes you very humble to be sitting in the ocean , need to appreciate it,cut the crap.
I agree with not killing an animal for human convenience (safety may be a different matter)... But kite Down. In the water. See the fin. Be it a second or seconds before. I'd be thinking FK the GW!
