The
article I've just read, has informed me that Western Australia has changed their shark culling regulations. The word "imminent" threat has been changed to "serious" threat. Essentially, changing the laws to allow shark culling if a shark is seen near an occupied shoreline. If the shark exceeds three meters, and is presumed to be a white, bull, or nurse shark, "preventive" measures are allowed to be taken, in the form of killing. With shark populations already declining world-wide, invoking a policy allowing sharks to be killed, merely from being spotted, is outrageous.
This adjustment, was made, obviously, to allow continued use of popular beaches. The reason, makes the means all the worse. So people can enjoy their vacation a little more, we are going to kill some of the most endangered species on the planet.
"Enjoy the beach. We've killed off the wild animals, for your continued enjoyment."
