Bit rich JB baggin KOTP stats when you've gone from one post saying there's 5000 left to 4 posts later saying there's 3500 and then going there's under 10,000. That's a bloody huge variance. I know your only quoting what these so called 'experts' think but so is he.
Bit rich? Not really. I was asked to provide some proof, or evidence to support my argument when i challenged the home made graph, that said there may be over 160 000 sharks world wide. SO i did that and to try and add some balance mate i quoted the highest and lowest figures i could find. My original number of 5000 seems to have been smack in the middle of the two but sorry mate if my QUOTE was not quite accurate enough for you
KOTP is obviously very concerned. SO why would he not want to do something to help himself? Why should it be up to the government to do it for you
There are options for Surfers other than trying to force your opinions of a cull on to the rest of the world. SO take the initiative and HELP YOURSELF first. Thats my point
The question was asked a few pages ago by someone else, how many of the anti brigade have bought a Shark Shield?
One person pipped up saying it didn't work for the abb diver (sorry his name I'm not sure) but if you read the coroners report you will see that he had it attached to his air hose and it was on the surface, so rendered useless due to miss use. So that excuse doesn't float, to say it doesn't work. Or is it actually that the threat of shark attack is real, but it is very slim and not worth the $300 investment
It really is common sense.
When did I say anything about your quote not be accurate enough for me. I simply said if your facts and figures are all over the place don't bag his.
I can't see how you can call it "proof" or "evidence" either with such a massive difference in figures. Sounds more like an uneducated guess.
Yes I own a sharksheild and use it. And no I don't believe it works but I will still continue to wear it. When you have it hanging on a rope directly under your boat at steep point and watch as 8ft plus sharks take your fish right next to it, it does put just a little bit of doubt in your mind.
To be honest JB your not really doing yourself any favours in trying to get your point across if you start attacking the person, not the issue.
I understand your passionate about the issue which i can perfectly understand but try see other peoples view. Even though you might not agree with them...
If you re read my post to KOTP Woodo you will see it wasn't an attack, more a suggestion. I say it again, if your that worried either get shield or similar product OR Stay out of the water..That way you'll be safe..Is that a incorrect statement Woodo?
If they start to kill great white sharks, how many should they kill? And after they have killed that many is there still and guarantee, that you will then be 100% safe from shark attack?
As for not doing myself any favours, well i don't get that one? Especially when you say I'm attacking someone when in fact i am pointing out the only true way to stay safe. My point still stands, you want a safe guarantee then stay out of the water

That is the only one you will get. FACT.
A cull is just a fluffy blanket, or a pacifier like a 2 year child old sleeps with
