    Can you back up your claims that they are pests eating our fish, do you think?

    The burden of proof is on you.

    Are you questioning whether sharks eat fish or whether they're our fish? Because I'm pretty sure that sharks eat fish. That's pretty much what sharks are for.

    Look up shark diet on google or shark dwindling fish stocks on google and you will find loads of things.As most of us know sharks are on top of the aquatic food chain and eat everything from fish to octopus to tuna and the odd seal,if you want to look it up by all means do if you dont thats down to you..

    Sure Bull Sharks are worse for human attacks. So why isn't there any ideas put forward to cull Bull Sharks. At the end of the day, I believe what the Dr said in the article. That humans are venturing offshore into their feeding ground. I mean if a human ventures into the jungle, which is a feeding ground for many animals. Who's fault is it? the animal that regularly hunts there, or the stupid person who went into the jungle?

    ......

    Exactly. You don't see me wanderin round finglas after sundown.

    ...which is not backing for your claim that they're a serious drain on fishstocks.

    As usual we just kill everything around us, great whites and sharks in general were around long before humans.

    You go into the ocean, that is know to contain sharks... get attacked.. buts its ok the answer to the problem is ...... lets kill everyone we find.

    Did the Sharks write letters of apologies or what?

    They did write letters but no one believed them. It was a great white lie that they were sorry.

    So, do sharks eat fish that we want to eat or just the manky ones? I'm ok with the manky ones.

    Shame really. Beautiful animals. Has more than likely been eluded to before now, but have many of these Great White attacks happened on land?

    If only there was some way to avoid them . . . .

    I'm not stupid enough to go surfing in great white territory, its their ocean not ours, swim and surf somewhere else if you don't want the risk of being attacked. most great white attacks are inquistory bites because they think surfers are seals.

    you do know Jaws wasn't a documentary don't you?

    No never looked at Jaws much the thought of a shark is enough to scare the hell outta me,i agree we shouldnt go near the waters where there are sharks much,i heard of an irish guy who died paddling out in a shark infested lake whilst drunk,so ya i think its daft,but if sharks numbers are not controlled and they eat lots of fish and seals and other stock such as octopus and that,we should cull them bc of that i think..

    That makes no sense whatsoever, all animals eat something. It's called the food chain. We should cull sharks because they eat fish? What about fish that eat other fish? What about dolphins, or seals? They eat fish too.
