open up the Shark fishery from Esperance to Esperance .... All the way around

 Create some jobs, count a few sharks and reduce the carbon footprint

 Love it!!... All these

 Love it!!... All these muppets who say 'its their territory, if you dont like it then dont go in the water', well guess what, if you live in any establishment or use any infastructure then YOU have TAKEN the natural territory of some living animal/insect/thing!!... The difference is that these people who don't ever enter the oceans or have a clue about what they're talking about get a chance to 'save the world' by making themselves so vocal that every decision maker shivers in their boots.

There is a great section in the documentary 'Drawing the line' where they demonstrate that the vast majority of people who vote for the greens live in major cities. People who have no idea on how the real world works!... People who believe in preserving the life of foxes and other introduced ferals because apparently farmers are just greedy pigs who like to hunt and kill for fun or just because they want to make a profit. Nevermind the damage that they do to livestock or the fact they love to rip apart our natives.

I could go on for ages, but if something is not done about the sharks for a human point of view how about all the fish which are 'sharked' on their way up, both commercial and recreational which means even more fish are taken in order to meet quotas. It baffles me.

 Whats the difference between a conservationist and a developer?

 A developer wants to build a house in a forest 

 A conservationist already has one.

Fri, 2016-10-07 14:01

 Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in children 0–4 years of age. Between 2002 and 2015, 403 children under the age of five drowned in Australian waterways. 78% of these deaths were the result of falls into water and over half occurred in home swimming pools and are classed as preventable.

 

As posted on the Royal lifesaving website, and we really think we should worry about 10 deaths form sharks!!!

Then you appealed to another very small minority who are attracted to the perversity of a pro-shark movement. You know, like the women who write love letters to convicted murderers on death row,

 Great article. I was dead set for culling but as that did not eventuate, then I don't want any of my taxes spent on anything to protect swimmers with nets, drum lines or waste money on shark surveys tagging etc just to tell fishermen what they already know. Just pour this money back into hospitals so they are better prepared to treat the injured.

 Human beings made with eyes to see, nose to smell, ass to fart and shit, hands to masturbate, and a pretty bloody powerful brain that eventually lets us think "oh... hold on darling dont waddle any closer, there might be sharks in there, i dont want to take my chances with the sharks(and then the stupid $&#! Realises...) oh that may well be why humans invented the f#$!@&g swimming pool. Never heard of a shark attack at craigie leasure centre. Just cant justify starting to kill shit ONLY because we tuppy little leisure and pleasure seeking idiots want to "go for a swim because it feels nice and cool" a handfull of times a year(if that), oh, nope thats it now, im scared, im just going to start killing them. Pathetic. Yep had a few visits from a posse of mozzies tonight actually but guess what, they were in my f$#@#n backyard, yep they bit me on the ass when i was gettin some of my home grown veggies to go with my f#@/$ng farm grown steak.
