Hello

Western Australia's state government has implemented a shark catch and kill policy.
Catch them and shoot them.
This policy is in direct action against a protected species.
Our Great whites are protected but Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt this week granted the State Government a temporary exemption from national environment laws.

Any shark caught above 3m will be destroyed!

This week our premier Colin barnett has granted permission for drum lines to be placed along our coast line to eventually exceed 70 in total

The majority of western Australians are passionately against this action.

Please help us spread the word on this issue

Many thanks

    Our gov has gone against advice of marine scientists and decided that killing is better than tagging and tracking....yes we have had attacks over the years . But this species is protected world over

    This is very upsetting. What kind of loopholes allowed this to happen?

    Ya I've read about this, and it makes little sense.

    Sharks have killed people, so kill the sharks. Bad Sharks!

    humans will destroy this beautiful planet. it is set in motion & has been for a long time. it is more likely that people will succeed in the devastation of earth than reviving earth. first & foremost... take action today for a better future

    shark hunting... dumb idea. shark hunters should be beat & set on fire, yes/no?

    That was actually an urban legend in 2002 that led to a lot of resort beaches chopping down all their coconut trees. There have only been ten documented deaths by coconut dating back to 1777.

    I really cant wait until sharks evolve and grow legs and eat all these rat bastards in suits making stupid shitheaded policies to make our oceans barf tanks. Good grief.

    When I was 10, I went to see Jaws upon its release.

    Theater was packed, oversold.

    I sat in the aisle by myself.

    Frozen, terrified, and in complete awe of sharkpower.

    They are some badass motherfuckers.

    The ocean is more their territory than ours; wish that concept - and they - could be respected.

    Some people just want to destroy anything and everything they feel threatened by... even life itself and the world they live on. Disgusting.

    When the Great White sharks start coming into our neighborhoods and carjacking us at gunpoint... then, okay... do something.
