How good was it! Absolutely destroyed him!
That bloke is the Managing Director and still couldnt present anything factual, Mike shot him down everytime with the real facts
It was great to watch. Mike showed great restraint and composure but was still able to speak with authority and more importantly with my version of common sense. The Sea Shepard bloke came across as a light weight.
Once again, I'm neither for or against, but am a little sick of the bleeding hearts.
Haven't seen it yet .. was it with that Jeff Hansen bloke .. it won't deter the cult members , hopefully however some of the stray sheep they roped in with their bulltish may actually be a little better informed . Public debate should be more of it
The only bit I saw was where they had invited down the PRO and ANTI sides to talk. The PRO guys turned up but the ANTI Cull/hippies wouldn't attend unless they were the only ones who would get a say. Had no interest in anyone hearing both sides.
Mike Roenfeldt absolutely shot down the sea Sheppard spokesman down in flames. Big John you are 100% correct all the greenie groups are interested in is the cheap publicity to obtain more donations.
Cheers for the link, the fact that anti drum line goup did not want to attend a debate if the pro group was present would normally be absolutely mind boggling in any other circumstance.
Yep cheers for the link .. wish it went longer had Hansen on the ropes in the 1st round .. The activists seem to be on unfamiliar ground actually debating the subject .. not sure if they'll be keen for a 2nd round after that .
Mike was very professional in his responses and when you make a comparison of 1 attack in 50 years in Queensland to 7 deaths in 3 years here in WA there is no question about a shark population control method being actioned. What a dork the Sea Sheppard guy was comparing golf to ocean activities and well answered Mike. Good response about vulnerable to endangered comparison.
Whatever action is conducted you will never satisfy the people who have an opinion but ask anyone who has witnessed a shark attack or have had a family member taken by a shark then the picture takes on different colours and meanings.
The financial cost is small for the drum line catching of sharks compared to patrols by sea and air.
The drum line method should be used for a season so some data can be colected. What I object to is the way the shark was killed and also the way the media has used the episode for sensationalism for "copy"and gaining advertising dollars.
I do not post very often on this web site but I will read comments as the subject attracts other anglers points of view.

I've noticed Sea Shephard have taken advantage of the furore and ramped up their radio ads for donations.
