wa shark cull setback, page-72

"How many sharks need to be culled to achieve this? What's to stop new sharks entering the area? Does it make any sense at all?

From what I can tell none of that data is avialable, hence there can be no good reason to cull."

yet it appears to be working in QLD and has done for years...where is the protest?

Different issue perhaps with Great Whites?

I couldn't care less about a great white or any shark for that matter. Yet I am happy for all the protest against whaling and the dolphin slaughter. Why? Because I like them better and they won't most likely attack me in the Ocean. Killer Whales are incredibly dangerous but they don't attack us off our beaches so live and let live.

There is obviously either a) a change in migration patterns b) change in current temperatures ergo food supply c) more great whites d) all of the above.

To do nothing is to see our beaches and surf spots increasingly unsafe. The government has a duty of care. Whether culling will be successful I have no idea but as they are currently protected and the fish stocks appear to be diminishing you can only see the problem getting worse. The claim that it is their territory is simply laughable. We respect the law of the strongest of the species survive and hold them atop of the food chain and say that is how it should be yet hold ourselves to account because we have the ability to make the oceans safer and are actually higher as a predator. Mans quest for domination doesn't stop at the waters edge.
How would the world be worse off because there were no great whites?
