Shark Cull
Submitted by timboon on Fri, 2025-01-03 22:36
Its been a while since we've had a shark cull discussion on here, usually makes for some interesting reading....
4 deaths in a year and a half in SA....
Time to stop the rot and start getting rid of em....
Fuck the cage diving boats off and get them scared of boats and humans again like the old days....
This thing popped up earlier and grabbed hold of a cray pot being pulled, crushed the steel pot and dragged it 500m....
Apparently the lads were told there had been an aggressive white about the place earlier in the day....
Thoughts to his friends and family, bloody tragic....

It will be interesting how this plays out in SA over the coming years if they continue getting fatalities every 5 months...
The woke Australian society might have a change in attitude when people start feeling uncomfortable everytime they take Rover down the beach to chase a stick out in the water....
Perhaps thats what needs to happen, someones Golden Retriever needs to get ripped to bits in front of a few Labradoodle owners not far off the shore.....

Trouble there is they are going to just keep getting bigger and probably more aggressive aswell.

I don't understand why more people don't catch them for a feed. Nothing wrong with a feed of shark and you get plenty of meat off them. Maybe it's just considered uncool unlike catching a good demersal.

I don't have a problem with trimming the numbers, wespecially the whalers if it's done sustainably by commercial catch.
And agree above have had more encounters with bigger ones this season down here, will only increase.

Couldn't agree more about
Couldn't agree more about banning cage diving pretty sure the behaviour around boats and people this practice has had on white sharks could be the cause of quite a few of the attacks on humans including fatalities bit hard to prove but anyone that argues differently have usually got a vested interest money talks I guess.

Agree
Plus 1 about cage diving and rebooting a few shark boats,but then who would want to mess about with narly sharks while their busy putting prize demersals on ice to go elsewhere

I have been saying kull the sharks for ages. They are getting out of control all over the world.
You see the kulling in all sorts of animals because of the numbers so why not sharks.
Feed your neighbour a shark not feed a shark your neighbour
