Title: How on earth did sharks become the new dolphin?
Post by: prodigyrf on October 07, 2016, 08:07:29 PM: Dunno but it's a bloody good question. Perhaps because they're slightly less evil looking than crocodiles and they're not green?

There - I said it !

I can't even tell you whether the statistics show that the number of shark attacks are increasing, but my guess if they are it isn't because the shark numbers have dramatically increased, but more likely because more people are out on the ocean putting themselves at risk.

It's interesting people talk about saving human lives, so kill the sharks, but there's roughly 90 times more people dying from drowning than there is from shark attacks annually. Ironically if people just stayed out of the water we'd save a few people from shark attacks whilst saving a few hundred from drowning....

Post by: GBC on October 08, 2016, 06:50:45 AM: 2 people died from shark attacks last year. 2. Again, 2. One of those was an ab diver who provoked the attack. The sharks had a great year last year because the yearly average since the 1950's for the whole of the country is 0.9. Tell me how many humans enter the water each day again?

Over 1200 died on the roads but compulsory defensive driving isn't tabled.

Why do guys keep getting 'tasted' at lighthouse beach? Right on the river mouth where the mullet run - fark yeh kill the sharks.
