Are you that intimate with me to be calling me son? Did I gave you that liberty to do so?Why you huggers consider yourselves in to be in a higher moral ground than people who have different views? Who is the nazi here?
Also the argument that there is more people in the ocean that ever is rubbish. In WA? The less populated stretch coastal region together with SA in the whole world? Why there are not exponentially more attacks than here in hawaii, california, east coast us, south africa and other places that GW's roam? If there is a surfer or two more in your spot in WA and you don't like because your surf is bad and you don't like people starring at you that is another problem. I bet we had more water users in the 90's in WA alone than now.
The 'son' call wasn't pointed at you but kiterboy. I can see the miscommunication on my part. No need to be so defensive. Just a conversation.
Interesting that you call us huggers when it could be people that do care about intergenerational equity and have a greater sense of the interconnectedness of the environmental world, we don't call you names, *cry cry cry*. I would say that there are more people using south-west WA waters now but we are both speculating, aren't we? No hard numbers or soft for that matter. All we can use is anecdotal evidence.
When you raise the point about why there are not as many attacks in Cali, Hawaii and such, the environments surrounding these areas oceans are so different. The productivity in the water and surrounding ecology is vastly different. We shouldn't just assume that there are more sharks lets cull them. Is there a problem in the food webs? Fish stock not supplying the higher levels of the trophic chain? Other apex predators pushing sharks into inshore waters? There could be a multitude of reasons. It COULD be because there is an above normal abundance of sharks. Lets investigate the reasons why. Before we make cliched knee jerk reactions.
No hard feelings Novetti, just discussion two point of view.
