Hunting killer sharks

Are you for or against?

fors example, last december in australia they decided to hunt down and kill a 5 meters long big white who had killed and eaten an 18 year old.

Do you agree with this? on the fact that killer sharks should be hunt down?

well yes, even though I believe that the sea is the sharks territory if i was a parent and had my kid gobbled up i'd want to see the shark in question dead in front of me!

No, personaly i think that they should be left to be.
Ifyou dive in places where sharks can be found well you are taking risks and let's not forget that we humans have legs and are not sea creatures from the start so whenever we go to the sea we are taking risks. It sad when these kinds of accidents occure but they still are very rare

No i don't think that they should be killed, that is i don't know how i'd react if my kid got gobbled up.
But by principe i'd say no, the shark is on his grounds

That's a tuff one. I agree that while we are in their turf we need to be causious and respectful, but when a certain animal starts to acquire a "taste" for humans that can be an issue. In the rocky mountains when a moutain Lion gets comfortable with attacking humans, they put the animal to sleep. They find that once they grow accustomed to humans in their own neighborhoods, they never leave.... I wonder then if the sharks also develop the sense for easy prey and start looking for a human vs. another fish?

So I would support killing off sharks like that sure, but as humans we need to be more careful not to purposefully put ourselves in danger. Just my 2cents.

once a shark starts going for humans for dinner i think that it should be killed. I'm not trying to be nasty or anything but i wouldn't want to risk other lives that way

I think that a shark who comes to close to the coast and starts attacking people should be stopped, if he starts eating humans he probably won't stop

It's a very tough question but I think that i'll have to say no. I don't think taht a shark should be killed for hunting it's in their nature....maybe move him to some other place at the limit no?

i actualy think that it's a good thing to kill a shark who has killed someone and who has decided to stay around the coast after that. It could want to give it another try. Normaly they don't like human flesh but i guess it's like everything, some may infact enjoy it

This might seem tough but no , I don't think that a shark should be hunted down for attacking a human and that even if the human is killed. Of course it's sad but it's just nature and you have far more chances to be killed by a drunk guy who is more of a murderer to me.
