denlin Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 American diver was killed by great white and now Australian government have issued it's death warrant. I am sorry that someone died but at the end of the day if you go swimming in it's habitat knowing the risks then it is unfair to hunt it down and kill it, I expect I have opened a can of worms now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the same when naturalist Steve Irwin got speared by stingray, they went round killing them which is definitely not what Steve would have wanted, he spent his life in conservation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Spyda Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 As long as the shark gets used as food afterwards, I don't see a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
