https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/15427/it-really-makes-me-madJust heard on e radio that they are on the hunt for a great white shark just off the coast of Perth. They think the same shark has killed the third person now so are tracking it down. They have said when ey find it they are going to catch it.

Maybe thay are struggling to find normal prey species, and are taking advantage of what they would see as prey, being people. Rings alarm bells to me, there must be something wrong in the ecosystem for them to attack people. <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Thinking_smiley.gif" alt="Thinking" /> ????</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/121705?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 24 Oct 2011 14:19:26 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:bf7cf85c-3ad0-4913-b426-61f49d7439a9Ju_xx<p>[quote user=&quot;SmegSlayer&quot;]</p> <p>How do they know it was a single shark?

However, I can see where the Australian Government is coming from. It is unusual for a shark to target humans so for a single great white to have killed three people is very odd and slightly worrying. I think they simply feel that they need to do something to reassure the general public. That doesn&#39;t make it right though!!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/121677?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:09:19 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:13257a18-6838-496e-a99a-421672c81e29Emma84<p>Totally agree, absolutely out of order that they are going to hunt it down it, it&nbsp;is just trying to survive in a environment that that is being destroyed by overfishing, pollution and habitat destruction all&nbsp;caused by mankind. It is sad that people have lost their lives but this animal did not do it out of malice only to survive. We should leave it be.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/121676?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:53:21 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:ac80f168-7d91-43c6-a3d6-e3dbd80f55a8emmadilemma<p>Yeah totally agree with you..... it`s so sad that humans haven`t learnt to respect nature and realise that we don`t own this planet <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Sad_smiley.png" alt="Sad" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/121674?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:11:55 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:bad062b3-0ca2-4a21-9756-28ccd2b31e1aKatie Mansfield<p>Yes, completely agree with you.</p> <p>K x</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
