    The ocean is the shark's home. Think of them as bakers....they have rights too.

    Humans don't have to play in the water - we are land mammals. The sharks have no choice where they live. They are necessary to maintain a clean ocean, we are not, but we need a clean ocean if we want fish to eat. More people are killed by lightning playing golf than by sharks when people are surfing - do you advocate messing with the clouds in the sky, perhaps eliminating them because there might be a lightning strike?

    FYI there is a way of using sound in the waters around hotels or on the surfers that would drive away all the sharks.

    I suggest you send your tips to Australia. Perth is on the west coast and sure can use the expertise.

    I asked a question. Questions are allowed in my world.

    When topics like this come up, you favor the animal. Do you admit you do that?

    Have you ever heard of the "butterfly effect"? The theory is mathematical and often applied to weather systems, but in short it means that changing one little thing in an environment can create a cascading effect that we may never be able to predict or undo once it has occurred.
