Do you favour a cull, or feel it's a complete waste of time?

Shark attacks seem to be on the increase around Oz.

Saw the channel 7 helicopter flying over yesterday and I said to my wife "I wonder if that's another shark attack then?" Sure enough...
My Mrs dives, she was at Rotto 2 weeks ago diving and going back next weekend. She's pretty much in the ocean at least once a week all year round. She's not worried about sharks and we are both against killing them. Her philosophy is "when it's your time, it's your time"!!

Don't be ridiculous - Surely helicopters and an army of manual spotters are much more cost effective than static, proven shark nets...

Seems to be the perfect application for a drone, equipped with a high-definition camera and / or other mechanisms to detect sharks in the water and relay their position back to shore. Got to be more cost effective than a helicopter, but maybe not a static net?

Going out killing them (sharks) really makes me angry. It's completely dumb and anyone who goes in the water knows what they may come up against.

Re: Yet another shark attack.......
A totally pointless exercise
People being killed by sharks is not cool but going into the ocean makes you part of the food chain............
