A women from britain was killed in Australia by a great white shark whilst diving.

"The shark has now been deemed an “imminent threat” to public safety so it can legally be killed with crews now searching for the creature ordered to shoot it.

Just hours after the fatal attack, a video was captured of a huge shark in the same stretch of water.

The footage, taken from a fishing boat, shows a huge fin swimming just 400 metres off Mindarie Marina.

Trent Walker posted the video to Perth & WA Fishing Reports, saying the shark was not much smaller than his 7.6 metre boat.

The attack is the second in one week after a surfer died when his leg was bitten off by a shark while paddling his surfboard at Falcon Beach in his hometown of Mandurah, south of Perth, on Tuesday afternoon."

Do we have a right to go and shoot and kill another animal for doing what is natural.

if we enter their waters we have to accept the risks.

No we should not kill them. We enter their space knowing full well what can happen.

not sure how to say this without being attacked on the thread, but I will anyway;

what a way to die, wouldn't you prefer to die this way when your time comes, doing something you love

or do you prefer growing old, losing your mind and control of your bowels.

Over the years I have surfed many shark risk bays and some have shark nets to keep them out, but once you are in the water you forget all risk and you enjoy the surf

to answer your question NO, I do not believe they should shoot it, but authorities like to be seen to be doing something, to make the public & tourists feel they are safe and tourism continues

Like shark nets ?

But those are being removed because all manner of marine life is being caught and killed in them.

All public swim beaches in Australia have lifeguards and shark spotters

But you cannot avoid the "stupidity" of some people entering waters that are not supervised and at dawn/dusk or murky waters, which are prime feeding times and habitats.

Why is it if an animal attacks a human in its natural habitat we don't think we had better stay away and let the animal be, instead we must kill it because we want its space

The same happened with a crocodile there a couple of days ago. It attacked during a late night swim.

I agree, we take the risk as its their territory. The problem the authorities have, if they don't act and that shark/croc get the taste for it and do it again, they will get blamed and probably sued.

There are so many warnings over there though esp for crocs that swimmers know the risks. Sad for the families though of those who have passed away.

Whilst the deaths could be deemed tragic, I think that we should leave the animals in their natural environment, exhibiting natural behaviour.

If a human chooses to take the risk then they are also choosing to potentially pay the price.

Because we have sentient brains, we are capable of making the choice- the animals are just following their instincts.

And Sharks are now endangered so they should be protected.

Some people use what ever force is necessary to fed themselves, this is only what the shark is doing. For me we shouldn't kill the shark.

If it's in a tourist area, and a predator shark has decided to adopt that beach as its new feeding territory, thousands of people will lose their jobs. I'm guessing it would also kill more people.

Should we all stop surfing and swimming on any beach?

I know I'm in a huge minority but people are ok with animals killing humans. But we can't do the same?

I completely disagree with hunting for sport, and I agree with tracking animal populations so the ecosystem is sustained and we don't run the risk of a species becoming extinct.

But why is the entire ocean the shark's territory any more than it is ours? If the ocean belongs to sharks and the land belongs to tigers and lions, which bit do we actually get to say is ours?

(And for the record I don't kill spiders or flies, or even wasps - I shepherd them out of my house. But weirdly I'm in the minority for doing that as well?)

I'm not going to rip anything off you but..... some animals live in water and some animals live on land. Some do both. We live on land and sharks live in water. Neither of us do both. We choose to enter the water. By making this choice we have to accept that there is danger involved in that choice. And if we happen to get attacked by a shark who is only going about its business doing shark stuff then that's just the way life goes. We don't own this planet, nature does and we are nothing more than part of nature..... FYI I hope that didn't hurt x

I never said that the land belongs to lions or tigers or that the ocean belongs to the sharks. It belongs to us all...all living things that are born and die on this planet.

this planet is home to us all. (A fun little fact I seen recently that if you put every single human being in one place we would all fit into texas and thats not shoulder to shoulder thats living in houses). So theres plenty of room for all things on this vast planet.

we kill hundreds of thousands of sharks a year compared to sharks killimg humand are in double figures.

humans are causing the extinction of so many different species and we are multiplying drastically.

However I respect your opinion and I also put spiders and insects out side

What's the predominant reason for killing sharks? I genuinely don't know.

Is it that they get trapped in fishing nets? Or are they hunted? Or are they killed to keep them away from beaches?

What are the percentages roughly?

I suspect that the victim may well have lost their mind. And almost certainly lost control of their bowels. Two out of three ...

And Brody felt sorry for the shark and put a big fence around Amity and no one ever went in the water again. The end.

my point is when a animal does wrong we kill it, we even kill animals if its not in the wrong but some stupid human climbs into an enclosure.

or some human waving his hands around infront of a dogs face and gets bitten that dog 9 times out of 10 will be put down.

but when a human does wrong more often than not its a slap on the wrist.

blackfish I think it was called, I seen that a while back and was awful how they treated the orcas and the company blamed their staff for human error (the ones killed by the orca).

Just so they could carry on with business as usual.

Yeh, they announced it at the end of the programme. They agreed in March of this year. Sadly though for the ones still there, it is going to be a long process to release them back to the wild. Xxxxx

They reluctantly agreed and were appealing against the decision that went against them. The decision was that they could no longer breed the killer whales...

If a solution was to be found preventing shark attacks it would have been found by now and like someone mentioned earlier safety nets are not safe for other wildlife in the sea its a problem that will never go away shark versus surfer shark wins then the guns come out so no one wins till the next shark attack.... again as already said if you want to risk being eaten or fatally bit go in the sea where there are sharks or the chance of there being like australia.. back in the 60,s the Australian prime minister one day went for his local swim in the sea not to be seen again .. but again money takes precedent if its a tourist area.. thee only winners are the ones that don,t get attacked and the tourist companys.

That's one of those fun facts that's actually based on a super city, you use the same density population as say new York and you get a city the size of Texas for the world population size of 7 billon.

Your footprint size is actually vastly vastly smaller than your ecological size.

To think about that you need to imagine things like... How big would the water reservoir be to feed your Texas size city, how big would the field need to be too keep the cattle, how big to grow the wheat, maize, rice...

To give you another example if the world population lived to the same amount of land as say Bangladesh then you only need a third of the land but if you wanted the same amount of land as India, you'd need half, as Europe, you'd need all the land on earth, the USA you'd need three earth's!

its disgusting for humans to consider any marine mammal a threat enough to murder these precious creatures just because we entered there territory. Wouldn't it be hilarious if sharks had the ability to walk on dry land and murder humans because one of our lot got jumped and killed by one and considered us a threat . Im afraid humans are akin to a Virus and are unfortunately we are respinsible for being on the cusp of the biggest extinction event for millions of years. Humans are the cause.....i haven't killed an ant since I hit puberty.

I'm a firm believer in not doing something unless you're willing to accept all the consequences of your actions

If you're going to enter known shark infested waters you know there's the risk of serious injury/death, why should and innocent animal following its primal instincts be killed because the odds weren't in your favour that day

How do they get the right one anyway? Kill loads and open them up until someone spills out, kill a big one cos he looks like a maneater? I've only heard snippets of this story, was it definitely a shark and what sort, as i'm pretty sure they have great whites, bull sharks and others feeding on the coastline.....not to mention saltwater crocs.

"How do they get the right one anyway? Kill loads and open them up until someone spills out, kill a big one cos he looks like a maneater? I've only heard snippets of this story, was it definitely a shark and what sort, as i'm pretty sure they have great whites, bull sharks and others feeding on the coastline.....not to mention saltwater crocs."

Good point

SHARK ATTACK FACTS

93% of shark attacks from 1580 to 2010 worldwide were on males.

In 2010, North American Waters had 42% of all confirmed unprovoked attacks worldwide (32 attacks).

Surfers accounted for 50.8% of all attacks in 2010.

Swimmers and Waders accounted for 38% of all attacks in 2010.

Snorkelers and divers accounted for 8% of all attacks in 2010.

Inflatable rafts/inner tubes accounted for 3% of attacks in 2010.

2010 was the most dangerous year for unprovoked shark attacks in a decade with 79.

Over the last half-century, there have been more unprovoked shark attacks in Florida (27 out of a total 139) between 2-3 pm than any other time of the day.

New Smyrna Beach in Florida is the shark attack capital of the world according to ISAF. It is estimated that anyone who has swam there has been within 10ft of a shark.

September is the month with the most Shark attacks in Florida (93) 1920-2010.

Since 1907 201 out 220 Great White Attacks have occurred when the human was less than 6ft from the surface.

You have a 1 in 63 chance of dying from the flu and a 1 in 3,700,000 chance of being killed by a shark during your lifetime.

Over 17,000 people die from falls each year. That’s a 1 in 218 chance over your lifetime, compared to a 1 in 3,700,000 chance of being killed by a shark.

In 1996, toilets injured 43,000 Americans a year. Sharks injured 13.

1n 1996, buckets and pails injured almost 11,000 Americans. Sharks injured 13.

In 1996, 2600 Americans were injured by room fresheners. Sharks injured 13.

The US averages just 19 shark attacks each year and one shark-attack fatality every two years. Meanwhile, in the coastal U.S. states alone, lightning strikes and kills more than 37 people each year.

Since 1959, Florida has had more shark attacks (603) than lightning fatalities (459).

Since 1959, California has had more shark attacks than lightning fatalities (89/30).

Since 1959, Hawaii has had 97 Shark attacks but no lightning fatalities.

Only 5 people die from shark attacks yearly, while millions of people die from starvation.

For SAEL: Since 1905, Natal (where Durban is) has had 89 shark attacks and 27 fatalities.

For every human killed by a shark, humans kill approximately two million sharks.

Most shark attacks occur less than 100 feet from the shore mainly around popular beaches in North America (especially Florida and Hawaii), Australia, and South Africa.

In 2008 a Polar bear Jaw was found in a Greenland Shark’s stomach.

A whale shark can filter 1.5 million litres (400,000 gallons) of water an hour when feeding. That’s enough to supply 1,000 US homes for a day.

"A guy jumps into lion enclosure, we shoot the lions

a kid gets into gorilla enclosure we shoot the gorilla,

A women enters a sharks territory shark eats women, we seek shark out to destroy it,

Dog bites a human, we destroy it.

human stabs human few years in jail

human stomps on humans head in pub fight, few years in jail,

Human rapes other human few years in jail,

Human kills other human 10-15 years in jail.

exactly this...... as humans we have it all bloody wrong. the animals don't mean malice in what there doing, it comes naturally to them, we as humans know better but yet we get away with a slap on the wrist.

and I heard today the mother of the child isn't being done for child endangerment.......... how???

What's your point?

my point is when a animal does wrong we kill it, we even kill animals if its not in the wrong but some stupid human climbs into an enclosure.

or some human waving his hands around infront of a dogs face and gets bitten that dog 9 times out of 10 will be put down.

but when a human does wrong more often than not its a slap on the wrist.

I'd say any human getting into a cage with animals that pose a fatal risk has mental health issues. Or if it's a child then it's a bad coincidence and poor safety controls all round. I'd say dogs that are loose that can seriously harm others are dangerous and should be put down. Would you disagree?

"not sure how to say this without being attacked on the thread, but I will anyway;

what a way to die, wouldn't you prefer to die this way when your time comes, doing something you love

or do you prefer growing old, losing your mind and control of your bowels.

Over the years I have surfed many shark risk bays and some have shark nets to keep them out, but once you are in the water you forget all risk and you enjoy the surf

to answer your question NO, I do not believe they should shoot it, but authorities like to be seen to be doing something, to make the public & tourists feel they are safe and tourism continues

Gotta say I am with you there Geezer
