Global Swarming?

Maybe. More likely due to the great white now being protected from yahoo fisherman in the US who want to live out their Captain Quint fantasies. That and an abundance of seals since they are now protected as well.


This one from NJ early in the week. Too bad the cast of the Jersey Shore weren't swimming nearby.............

Shark Attack: Great White Sharks Bites Man in Southern California | Video - ABC News

Let me start by saying I'm sorry the guy got bit.

However, there are two very wrong things here. First, Great Whites are protected. It is illegal to fish for them. The fisherman knew what he had and should have cut the line right off.

Second, the swimmers swam right into an area where people routinely fishing off the pier. File this under bad idea......

I love sharks. Not to the extent that I would ever consider diving with them, I'd crap my swimsuit.

The only time it would be justified for us to kill sharks would be if they got out of the water and started killing us.
