The mass media makes it out that the Dept of Fisheries are going to go out and cull these magnificent creatures. I’m sure you may have “Liked” a few things on Facebook in the bid to protest against this and maybe even attended a rally or two.
The facts are that the Minister gave the CEO of the Dept of Fisheries WA, the authority to decide whether a shark should be killed, on a case by case basis. They did not make it policy for the wholesale culling of sharks.
Quite the reverse. A lot of resources have been put in place to find ways of deterring the fish from populated beaches, to keep the community safe from predation. Sharks are being tagged so that individuals will be identifiable and their habits studied.
Who do we believe? We might have to wait and see.
It is human being expanding their habitat too much to the wildlife’s environment. Who to be blamed in terms of sharks’a attack? The holistic concept should be also adopted for the well being of the nature. Those breaking up the balance will pay much for this. I do not think the wildlife will be as smart as human being to hurt the latter.

I don’t believe that humans are the only ones capable of learning.
